Young Healthwatch: Report & Video Now Available!
04/04/2016
Sefton CVS were commissioned to carry out a pilot project to ascertain what children and young people locally thought about the health care services they receive. Between April and September 2015, Caroline Scott and Emma Lambert visited young people in schools, community centres, at public events and promoted an online survey using social media. We also visited parent/carer groups to speak to the families of children and young people with disabilities. This report summarised what young people told us and offers recommendations for engaging young people in the future.
How were young people involved?
125 young people completed the online survey
5 young people formed project steering group
51 young people took part in chat groups
3 young people were interviewed to be a case study
Methodology
The online survey was designed in collaboration with the young people’s steering group. It aims to capture a broad range of baseline data about what services young people use and how they feel about the quality of the care they are given.
