Involving Children and Young People
Children and young people need to
be involved in both policy and strategy development, and also in
the process of monitoring, review and evaluation.
There are a number of ways this has
successfully been achieved in local authorities. For example
through:
• Young
people’s advisory groups
• Youth parliaments / youth councils / youth forums
• School councils
• Young people’s discussion pages (on website)
• Questionnaires/surveys/focus groups/ research (preferably
designed and carried out by young people)
• Conferences for children and young people
The evidence and impact of this involvement should
be used to inform the local authority inspection process.
