Engaged the public at Walthamstow Garden Party – July 2017
Created film with partners Capturing the voice of children and young people
Planning group has been meeting regularly and all partner organisations well engaged
Partners agreed to create an inclusive toolkit rather than a strategy – this is to improve standards of engagement and provide the resources and information to involve the right people at the right time
Presented at Children’s Health and Wellbeing sub committee – happy with work and approach to create a toolkit

4. Existing channels used to reach children and young people
Face-to-face
Social media
Over the summer people from across NHS and local authority teams have met to map out all the current ways that exist of gathering feedback and involving young people, and started to gather the views of local young people too.
In the diagram that you can see behind me - each hexagonal represents a channel belonging to either CCG, council, Barts, NELFT or other partner Blue edge – face to face – red edge – social media
Council represented in green – most prolific (NELFT yellow, CCG royal blue, Barts light blue, NHSE mid blue, purple – healthwatch, grey – Met Police)
Represents just some but already have:
15 social media channels across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
