Introducing our new pledge...Be & Feel Loved
Introducing the fifth Child Friendly Cov pledge, "Be & Feel Loved," which adds a crucial dimension to Coventry's commitment to its youngest residents.
Children and young people feel a sense of belonging and connection to Coventry, appreciating its rich history and diverse culture.
Ensure every child is surrounded by love and nurturing environments, fostering a strong sense of belonging.
Establish Coventry as an inclusive and accepting city for everyone, including children and young people from all countries, faiths, and those with disabilities
Encourage children to discover and learn about Coventry’s history, landmarks, and cultural heritage.
The name itself, chosen by the children and young people of the city through the One Big Voice survey, embodies the essence of nurturing environments where every child can flourish emotionally and socially.
At the heart of this pledge is the fundamental belief that every child deserves to feel cherished and valued within their family and community. We know that families and communities come in all shapes and sizes but we want every child and young person to feel a profound sense of belonging and connection to their family, their community and to Coventry.
One aspect involves establishing Coventry as an inclusive and welcoming place for all, regardless of nationality, faith, or ability. By embracing diversity and celebrating differences, the city can create a sense of belonging for every child, fostering a community where everyone feels accepted and valued.
Additionally, the pledge encourages initiatives that enable children to explore and appreciate Coventry's rich history, landmarks, and cultural heritage. By promoting learning opportunities about the city's past and present, children can develop a deeper connection to their surroundings, enhancing their sense of pride and belonging.
In essence, the new "Be & Feel Loved" pledge underscores Coventry's commitment to prioritising the emotional well-being and sense of belonging of its children and young people. By embracing love, inclusivity, and cultural appreciation, the city can create a nurturing environment where every child feels cherished, supported, and empowered to thrive.
