Young Inspectors
Young Inspectors are young people with lived experience of services who review how these services are delivered and make recommendations for improvement and future development.
Each year, Young Inspectors research the views of children, young people, parents, carers and professionals on a chosen aspect of Camden’s services and how we work with partner agencies.
This year’s team of seven Young Inspectors, aged 16 to 22, were recruited across Camden schools, special educational needs (SEN) networks, participation groups and through social workers. Their chosen topic was 'Ensuring Meaningful Participation in Education, Health and Care Plans'.
