Healthwatch Thurrock Annual Report 2016-17
Summary
Last year we said we needed to do more with children and young people, and our children and young people worker Faith has done just that. A large proportion of those voices gathered have been from children and young people. They have fed into the plans around health going forward; they have told us their experiences of mental health support for them, their experiences around bullying, and their views on green spaces and activities within the borough.
We have spoken to looked after children and young carers. Their views and experiences have been fed into the Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Thurrock, and we have listened to the parents and carers of children with disabilities and ensured their views have been heard during commissioning of services affecting them.
Throughout the report you will be able to see examples of the work we have carried out, a breakdown of the numbers of people spoken to, examples of the projects we have run and feedback from some of those we have been able to help. There are also some real voices, not only from those who have used our service in one way or another, but from professionals who we have worked with to make Thurrock a better place for all who live here.
