The views of children and young people in East Lothian

East Lothian Council and Community Planning partners are committed to making sure that looked-after children and young people, and their families and carers, are involved in making decisions and planning for their care, education and development. Since 2007, an Involvement Officer has been employed. Its role is to set up systems, initiatives and procedures to involve children, young people and their families in how we plan and deliver integrated services in East Lothian. ‘Listen more, assume less’ two follows on from Listen more and assume less. It will provide readers with: • an understanding of the views of young people • the outcomes that have been measured • an insight into the various methods used to engage with children and young people. • an update on the progress being made in addressing actions achieving positive outcomes for children and young people • a list of further actions in response to the issues that have been identified.
