Summary

CWDC has worked in close partnership with NYA, Investing in Children and Practical Participation to embed CWDC’s vision and strategy for participation. They have provided consultancy for key staff who have made participation a reality in their work and set up awareness raising sessions for all staff. Participation Champions for each team have been identified and a toolkit launched which is proving successful in supporting staff to apply their knowledge and skills. CWDC is using The Hear by Right standards framework to identify the priorities for participation, its next steps for action and the accountable leads and action groups for the coming year.

Local Network Details

Children’s Workforce Development Council has shared the following details about using Hear by Right and young people's participation in the organisation.

Current Level using Hear by Right: Established
Our Main Strengths: Buy in from whole organisation, strategic as well as in delivery.
Our Main Weaknesses: We don’t work directly with children and young people so sometimes find recruitment / outreach difficult.
What we can offer to other in the region: Loads of projects that would love the involvement / guidance of children and young people!

Mapping and Planning Tool

Hear by Right is based around the Mapping and Planning tool. This website provides a space for organisations to share their maps and plans using the tool, both in order to share details of what they are doing locally, and to promote learning between organisations.
