How will you know that we have achieved what we set out to do?

We will engage with babies, children and young people wherever they are. This will include:

• Youth forums
• The Primary Parliament
• Children and young people in schools, in alternative provisions and college Children and young people who are in local authority care
• Groups of early years children and their parents and carers
• Marginalised groups, for instance BAME, SEND, refugee and asylum-seeking children and young people.

We will check progress with UNICEF UK and with our partners. We will share information regularly.

We will carry out surveys to get feedback. This will check how children and young people understand their rights. It will also help us understand our progress. We will be able to see how well we are communicating with and about children and young people. We will be able to see if we are achieving a culture change which supports children’s rights in Nottingham.

We will look at training data, publish case studies and feedback from our partner agencies. We will bring together information from our partners. This will include official information and reports about:

• Education
• Public Health
• Community safety
• Transport
• Performance frameworks
• Health services.

We will review and aim to improve positive lifestyle changes. We will use evidence and learnings from our partners to improve services. We will use the take up of the Healthy Start Scheme amongst eligible families to measure success.

We will use a variety of measurements to build evidence of the impact of our work. This will include:

• Children and young people’s involvement in official meetings
• Comparing our results with nearby and peer local authorities, where we can
• Recording what is said at our forums and through conversations at events and activities
• Using the reports from the Violence Reduction Youth Advisory Board
• Using reviews, surveys and event assessments
• Collecting agendas and actions from meetings including our Partnership Board.
