Renfrewshire’s Children’s Services Partnership has a collective vision that Renfrewshire’s children and young people are happy, healthy, safe and thriving.
 
To support this vision, we have developed a Children’s Services Partnership Plan that outlines a number of high level aims and outcomes for children, young people and their families.  We will be sharing this plan and raising awareness of our collaborative actions in the coming months.   
As part of our partnership working, it is extremely important that we also listen to and closely monitor feedback from our frontline workforce and colleagues from across the partnership.  To help us understand if we have the right supports in place, to enable you and your colleagues to deliver the vision for our children and young people. 
 
To help us understand better, we have developed a survey to gather your views, these will be used to improve the services we provide and includes questions on:

  • Outcomes for children and young people at risk of harm.
  • The impact of services on children and young people at risk of harm.
  • The delivery of key processes for children and young people at risk of harm.
  • The impact of staff and quality and effectiveness of their work.
  • Local leadership and direction.
  • Key strengths and areas for improvement.
  • The Promise.

 Please follow this link and take 15 - 20 minutes to provide your feedback, insight and ideas on how we can work together to provide an even better service to our children, young people and their families.
 
Please circulate this to all your frontline staff, partners and third sector colleagues and ask them to complete the survey by Tuesday 6 June 2023. If you have any questions on the survey, please contact Nicola Davidson, Child Protection Lead Officer  (nicola.davidson@renfrewshire.gov.uk)
