Sharing young people’s feedback to improve the health and social care services they use.
We recruited volunteers (aged 12-18) from across Somerset to be Young Listeners. They designed a questionnaire for other young people to gain a better understanding of young people’s health and social care services in Somerset.
Key messages
There is a lack of communication between services about young people’s health and wellbeing.
Services are not communicating effectively with young people, and they often feel left in the dark.
There is not enough information or education about health and social care in schools, so young people have to find information online.
Many services do not promote themselves in a way that is accessible or inclusive of young people.
