Guidance for involving young people

Across Essex, children, young people, their families and communities will be able to take part in thedesign, development, delivery, governance and evaluation of services. Children, young people, their families and communities have said the most important things to consider when involving them are:

• To treat them with respect, listen to what is said and value individuals.
• To provide support to help everyone take part in opportunities.
• To provide clear information about opportunities and the benefits for everyone involved.
• To make sure everyone has access to a range of opportunities appropriate to individual needs.
• To give feedback, so everyone is clear about what has happened as a result of individual/group input
• to work together to provide the widest range of the best possible opportunities
