What do you do? I work with partners, children and young people, theirfamilies and carers to bring their rights and any issues that affectthem to the top of the agenda. I also develop policies and strategies tosecure their participation in the planning and delivery of children'sservices and do all I can to help those with the power to improvechildren's lives. We adults are often very good at asking children andyoung people what went wrong after the event and then trying to putthings right. My job is about making sure that we get things right fromthe onset.
What other agencies and who else within your organisation do you workwith? I am answerable to the children's trust board and will thereforebe working alongside county councillors and the council's children andlifelong learning directorate. I also work alongside Connexions, health,youth offending services, housing, police, voluntary organisations and,of course, the children and young people, their parents and carers.
