Young Peoples Involvement“If we can’t build a future for our youth, we must build

our youth for the future” (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

The definition of involvement developed by young people and adopted by the Sheffield 0-19+ Partnership is:

Involvement is the way in which children and young people can be actively involved in decision making

processes that affect not only their lives but the communities in which they live and the services they

use.

Sheffield Involvement Strategy

Five elements of the strategy:1. Getting children and young people involved2. Children and young people influencing services 3. Measuring the success of a service: involvement standards4. The skills of children and young people 5. Training & development of the children and young people’s

workforce
