Participation and Engagement of the Voice of Children and Y…

This Strategy is for all children and young people in the London Borough of Havering, but focusses on those who are care

experienced, including young people in care and leaving care. As a council, we are committed to listening to children and young

people about their experiences of the services that they receive and the issues that are important to them; and work with them to

deliver improvements that reflect their views. Participation centres on promoting positive outcomes for children and young people,

whilst taking a position that is trauma informed and systemic.
