HbR takes account of children and young people’s trust arrangements, increased partnership working and the Every Child Matters outcomes for children and young people.
Based on the 7 S model of organisational change – shared values, strategies, structures, systems, staff, skills and knowledge and style of leadership – it relies on self-assessment across three levels: Emerging, Established and Advanced. Each level builds on the last, helping to ensure that children and young people’s involvement is built in and not just bolted on.
The 2008 revised edition shows how any organisation can use Hear by Right to evidence an adequate level of participation and ensure participation is linked to evidence of change both in the organisation and the lives of children and young people themselves.
