Description

The service aims to promote the participation of children and young people, particularly those most vulnerable (*as defined by the Children Act 2004), in Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) in order to ensure their voices are heard and responded to, and to encourage their active involvement in decision-making, service delivery and strategic development.
The contract will consist of 2 parts:
Part A
There are currently over 180 children and young people in care in B&NES. There is statutory responsibility for B&NES to ensure that those children and young people have an opportunity to have their voices heard, and to be supported to engage with services to make changes.
This service will ensure that children and young people have an independent voice.
Part B
This service will also support a wider group of young people ,collectively known as The Youth Forum to also have their voice heard, and influence local policy , strategy and decision making.
It will also support the Member of Youth Parliament to undertake their duties with guidance from the British Youth Council (BYC).
