Wales: National database to hold young people's opinions

1 min read
A national database of children and young people's opinions that will allow councils to assess and compare their performance is to be launched in Wales.

A consortium of 14 of the country's 22 children and young people's framework partnerships has signed up to develop the database using Viewpoint software.

More partnerships are expected to join later in the year.

Viewpoint online questionnaires are already used independently by most social services departments and youth offending teams in Wales.

But the new database will allow partnerships to develop joint questionnaires and build a national picture of children and young people's views.

The concept, which sprang out of a meeting arranged by Carmarthenshire County Council, has been spearheaded by Bridgend council.
