Young Inspectors
Young Inspectors are young people who have experience of having a social worker and of getting support from Camden Family Help and Safeguarding. Young Inspectors undertake research into the views of other service users and professionals about the services provided by partner agencies responsible for safeguarding children.
The Young Inspectors are aged 16 to 25, are selected by interview and are involved in designing and conducting each inspection. The strength of the Young Inspectors is that they can apply their own experiences and knowledge of the service to the inspection. Young Inspectors receive support and training to help them in their role. Here you can read or download their reports:
