Moving forward, we will stay connected using our values.
Empower
We will develop a culture where children, young people and their families have ongoing opportunities to be active participants in the design, delivery, evaluation and transformation of services across Cumberland
Collaborate
We will create ongoing opportunities to hear the views of our children and young people.
We will ensure that those who are seldom heard, have opportunities to do so and are supported to participate.
We will encourage and support our partners to adopt a similar approach.
Be ambitious
We will improve how we monitor, measure, and collate the views of children and young people to ensure we deliver high performing services that we know achieve the best possible outcomes.
Be compassionate
We will respect our children and young people giving their time to share their views.
We will have open and honest conversations so they know we understand their views and we will share any changes we make as a result; when we can’t make changes we will share the reasons why.
Innovate
We will think big and offer opportunities for children and young people to participate in the planning and reviewing of services to provide creative and accessible services, that are tailored to the needs of our communities.
