To support children and young people, and their families, who have experienced loss and trauma and to empower them to have a voice in decision making about their lives, about the development of Jigsaw4u and in the development of policy and practice locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

That every child and young person who has experienced loss and trauma will receive the support that they need, when they need it and in a way that they will find helpful and accessible.

That every school, GP practice and hospital will have a designated person for loss and trauma along the same lines as the already existing designated and lead professionals for child protection.
