Youth Participation Strategy - Consultation
South Cambridgeshire District Council is committed to providing excellent services to all residents in South Cambridgeshire, including children and young people, to achieve the Council's Vision, which is:
To make South Cambridgeshire a safe and healthy place where residents are proud to live and where there will be opportunities for employment, enterprise and world-leading innovation. We will be a listening Council, providing a voice for rural life and first-class services accessible to all.
We recognise that children and young people have interesting and valuable opinions, which, if listened and responded to by the Council and other decision makers, can improve service delivery as well as laying a long lasting foundation leading to participation in democracy. Research suggests that whilst some young people may not be interested in local party politics, they are very interested in issues that affect them and their communities.
Children and young people have the best appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of the services that they use or that affect them. It is vital to make best use of their knowledge and understanding when developing and providing services that most effectively meet their needs and we intend to do that through this strategy. We shall therefore be consulting with children and young people and getting their input for the final draft strategy before it is adopted. Please let us know if you know of groups or individual children or young people who would be interested in being involved in this consultation.
To make sure we get it right, we are consulting on this draft strategy for 12 weeks starting on 29th January until 23rd April 2010.
