What Kind of 91Ô­´´?

The What Kind of 91Ô­´´? project has given children and young people across 91Ô­´´ the chance to influence how adults plan and run the city’s services.

on the Children’s Parliament website.

What Kind of 91Ô­´´? follows on from 2017’s 91Ô­´´ Children’s Partnership project. Children’s Parliament and Young 91Ô­´´ Action delivered the project on behalf of the City of 91Ô­´´ Council and 91Ô­´´ Children’s Partnership.

The project

What Kind of 91Ô­´´? worked with 40 children and young people to find out what matters to them and what they would like to see improve. Twenty decision makers from

  • the Council
  • NHS Lothian
  • the voluntary sector
  • Police Scotland

met with the children and young people six times from August 2018. They heard their views on the five priorities of the 91Ô­´´ Children’s Partnership:

  • best start in life
  • health and wellbeing
  • fairness
  • achieving your best in education
  • participation and empowerment.

The decision-makers made pledges in response to the suggestions.

What Kind of 91Ô­´´? provides a model of strategic engagement for adult stakeholders, children and young people. It supports the public bodies who form 91Ô­´´ Children’s Partnership to meet obligations defined in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act (2014).
