Details

The CYPHOF has welcomed progress and challenged the health system and children’s sector on where further improvements are needed. They are grouped into 6 themes:

  • ensuring useful engagement with children and young people so that their views are asked for, listened to and acted upon

  • ensuring that all people who work with children and young people are properly trained and have the right skills, attitudes and behaviour

  • ensuring that the incentives for developing children and young people’s services encourage prevention, early intervention, and safe and sustainable services

  • ensuring that the children and young people’s health outcomes are measured properly and that progress is reviewed

  • data sharing and integration

  • ensuring that children and young people’s services are accountable at a national and local level
