Worcestershire Children’s Trust is inviting young people to play a part in continuing to make sure Worcestershire is the best place for children and young people to grow up.

All aims and priorities relating to delivering services for children and young people in Worcestershire are currently guided by a document called the Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP).

The Children’s Trust is currently working with its partners on producing a new plan and is calling for Worcestershire residents to help shape the future vision by sharing their views via Worcestershire County Council’s website.

Councillor Marcus Hart, Chair of the Worcestershire Children’s Trust, said: “The Trust believes everybody’s voice is important and is therefore asking as many people in Worcestershire to feed back on the outcomes of the current plan and help shape the new plan.

“We will be consulting with a wide range of people, including children and young people, parents and carers, County Councillors, professionals and teachers using a wide range of methods. We would encourage as many people as possible to get involved in this valuable piece of work.”

The CYPP is a single plan that sets out what all agencies working with children and young people will do to make lives better for children, young people and their families.

One of the main ways in which people can get involved in the consultation is by completing this short general questionnaire, http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/researchweb/cypp/vp_cypp.htm, which will be available until 20th September.
And young people are invited to provide a more detailed view via this additional questionnaire https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/researchweb/cypp/2010.htm

The consultation is being carried out between August and October. Events have been organised throughout this period for children, children, young people, parents, carers and stakeholders, in addition to the two questionnaires.
