Stakeholder Engagement Strategy Our organisation recognizes the vital role of engaging with our diverse stakeholders, including children, young people, families, local partnerships, neighbourhoods, commissioners, and staff teams. We are dedicated to fostering open communication and actively involving stakeholders in shaping our services. Below is an outline of our consultative approach: Pupil and Student Voice We prioritise the voices of our students by hosting R U Ok and Form group meetings, half-termly voice meetings. Additionally, school and college-based letter boxes are available for students to share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, or feedback directly with us. Education and Care Reviews We consult with students through various review processes, including Looked After Children (LAC) Personal Education Meetings (PEPs), LAC care placement meetings, and reviews for those with Educa-tion, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs). One-on-One Engagements Every student, and their family is offered opportunities for one-on-one interactions with key workers and form teachers. These sessions provide a platform to express wishes, feelings, feedback, and sugges-tions for service design. Staff Collaboration We foster collaboration through employee forums, staff team meetings, and professional supervision sessions. These platforms encourage co-design of curriculums, services, and programs, ensuring staff voices are integral to our development. Impact Assessments To evaluate our work’s effectiveness, we use questionnaires and self-reports from children and parents. These tools help us gather feedback on improving our services and addressing the needs of local com-munities. At the leadership level, our Directors and management teams carefully analyze all collected data, feed-back, and insights. This ongoing process of reflection and evaluation enables us to make informed deci-sions, adapt strategies, and implement meaningful changes. We are committed to evolving with the needs of our stakeholders, ensuring our services remain impactful and relevant.
