Young I Matter We Matter - Children In Wales Consultation


Young I Matter We Matter
Children in Wales is looking for organisations and agencies who work with children and young people to enable them to engage with the future of socialservices.
The consultation document on the Social Services (Wales ) Bill (issued in March 2012) proposed "a statement of national outcomes for social services and socialcare services." Children in Wales is a member of the I Matter We Matter group of National Alliances brought together by WCVA to work with the Welsh Government to ensure that the Outcome Framework is created through a national wide-scale discussion with those who use Social Services.
I Matter We Matter wants to hear the views of all those who want to improve organisations, services and communities to ensure that people have choice, control and a feeling of mutual well-being and independence. This will include those receiving support now and those who might do in the future as well as those who support others.
I Matter We Matter is asking people:
  • What are the things that are important to you in your life?
  • What helps you to do these things?
Children in Wales is facilitating Young I Matter We Matter which is collecting of information about what matters to children and young people. To do this we would like to hear :
  • From organisations or groups who are in a position to talk to children and young people about the I Matter We Matter questions
  • About any previous work that has been undertaken with children and young people to find out their view on these issues, or any other materials you think would be relevant
We will be collating this information between November 2012 and January 2013. During February there will be a process for pulling all this information together and there will be an opportunity for common themes to be shared.
