Mansfield Shire Council is working on a Municipal Early Years Plan (MEYP) that fosters a whole-of-community, whole-of-system approach to building community strength and addressing the underlying causes for inequality and vulnerability of children and families. It is a place-based focus on prevention, equity, health, and long term social and educational outcomes for children and we are seeking community feedback.
