The Strategy

Young People's Active Involvement Strategy

The Department for Children, Schools and Families is committed to embedding participation of children and young people in the design, delivery and evaluation of services that affect them at a national, regional, and local level.

There are so many opportunities for children and young people to take an active part in shaping where they live, the services they use and the running of local and national organisations. They have a right to be involved in the decisions that affect them. Their participation is essential to improve services and respond to their needs. This is recognised and promoted in law, policy and guidance: the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Every Child Matters, the Children Act 2004, Youth Matters, Children's Trusts and inspections, especially Joint Area Reviews.

With the above in mind, Doncaster Connexions has put together their own their own Active Involvement Strategy that links into Doncaster Council's Active Involvement Strategy.
