This study explores what might help children, young people and young families settle most easily into a new community.
The report presents evidence both for ‘New Osbaldwick’, the JRF’s planned new community on the edge of York, and more generally for communities and locations with different kinds of characteristics. It looks at requirements relating to education, health, leisure and safety, and also considers measures to help young people and families feel positively about their locality, have a ‘voice’ in how it is organised and managed, and share a sense of really belonging.
The report concludes with ten specific suggestions for New Osbaldwick.
