Voice of the Child toolkit - My Life, My Journey
Practitioners along with children have developed a set of engagement tools to capture their voice and to inform the journey of the child.
These must not be used as assessment tools but can help to inform any assessments or plans.
These tools are to:
- enable the child to:
- have a voice which is listened to and acted upon
- give their view on the support they receive
- identify what help they would like and who from
- identify and share what is important to them
- give their views on actions for change
- review what has worked or not worked for them.
- enable practitioners to:
- build positive relationships and gain a better understanding of the child to best support their needs
- improve outcomes and evidence what difference listening to the child has made.
Please make sure you read the guidance; it has been written to advise you on how to get the best out of the toolkit.
