How will children and young people be involved in the JAR?
Children and young people’s views and experiences will be at the heart of the JAR process and will be used to inform the inspectors’ judgements. Their views will be gathered at every stage of the review using a range of methods including: • The Tell Us 3 questionnaire carried out for the APA (Annual Performance Assessment). This survey tests the feelings and perceptions of young people about the quality of life in the Borough and the services that are provided to support them and is currently open for completion in our schools. • A range of focus groups and visits to settings (e.g. schools, youth centres, children’s centres and so on) undertaken by all inspectors during the fieldwork stage • The results of surveys and consultations with children and young people conducted in the local area such as the Oldham Needs Analysis and feedback as a result of consultations undertaken.
