Our Mission We who live and work in Tallaght West have high expectations for all children living in our communities. We want our children to love who they are and to be cherished irrespective of social background, cultural differences and country of origin. We see every child and every family being provided with support, opportunities and choices to meet these expectations. We see the whole community owning responsibility for the quality, beauty and safety of the local environment. We see children encouraged and cherished by the whole community.

Where we came from: The Childhood Development Initiative (CDI) began as a planning initiative in 2003 to support better outcomes for children in Tallaght West. A consortium of 23 members representing community leaders, residents and professionals living and working in Tallaght West developed the outcomes-focused 10-year strategy 'A Place for Children'. Based on this long-term strategy, a detailed implementation was agreed for 2007-2011, against which a major investment of €15 million euro was made, co-funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, through the Prevention and Early Intervention Fund, and The Atlantic Philanthropies. |
