Engagement with Children and Young People
April 2012 – May 2012
To improve service provision for parents with children aged 0 to 4 years in the Antrim area, Questionnaires have been developed to identify the needs for these families. Questionnaires will be distributed to parents through Health Visitors and other local Health Professionals. It is anticipated that the questionnaires will provide an evidence base of identified need.
A focus group of parents will be completed on receipt of the questionnaires to further plan for improving services by ensuring the voice of parents are at the centre of the process.
Engagement with Parents
August 2010
Engagement was completed with 20 young people aged 10 to 16 years living in the Greystone area of Antrim in August 2010. The purpose of the engagement was to ascertain from the young people about what services they feel are needed in the Antrim area for young people and to plan for what their “perfect” youth provision would be like. This information was fed back into the Antrim Locality Planning group.
