Background
The Suffolk Children’s Trust Partnership brings together all
organisations working with children and young people, to improve
outcomes for children and young people across the county.
Consultation is one way of improving outcomes, by involving
children and young people in the planning, design and evaluation of
services that impact upon their lives. As part of the work of The
Children’s Trust Partnership, it has been agreed that the Children
and Young People's Involvement Steering Group (CYPISG) will support
and review all consultation work, and report back to The Children’s
Trust Partnership on a regular basis.
Consultation process
The process outlined in the documents below has been developed
so that the excellent consultation work taking place across the
partnership is collated in a planned and co-ordinated way. It will
ensure that children and young people are not over consulted, and
prevent duplication by sharing the results of previous consultation
activity.

However, consultation is only one part of the process. It is
also essential that children and young people are kept informed of
the impact of consultations undertaken with them. Impact
information will be published on Thesource website for young
people,
