Focus on Gympie: A Kids Eye View 2022
Gympie Region Local Level Alliance
COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN ACTION
We know many children in the Gympie region are thriving. However, we also know that some children experience vulnerabilities and face big challenges as they start school. Across the Gympie region, around 70% of children start school ready to reach their potential. The Gympie Region Local Level Alliance (LLA) wants to do better.
The LLA has a long term, whole of community vision to create the best start for every child in the region. We are using collective impact – a place-based approach that recognises the unique strengths, barriers and opportunities of our community – to join up our efforts to address complex social issues facing children and families and to achieve lasting change. Our cross-sector leadership group involves representatives from all levels of government, NGOs and local networks who have responsibilities for supporting children.
What we're doing
The State of Children in the Gympie Region Report 2020
The State of Children in the Gympie Region 2020 follows on from our first report, released in 2017. As part of our collective impact approach, we use data to inform our action areas and to see if we are making a difference. This report contains the latest available data. Data comes from a number of sources, across a range of indicators, to see how children in the Gympie region are faring.
