Children and young people, parents and professionals are being encouraged to give the City of Wolverhampton Council their views on services which support the emotional wellbeing of local young people.

The consultation is a chance to identify what has worked well in children’s emotional wellbeing services, what hasn’t worked so well, and what can be improved. The feedback given will be used to help the council plan young people’s emotional wellbeing services in the future. 

The people that the council are looking to fill in the consultation are:

  • Children and young people between the ages of 0 to 18 
  • Children and young people between the ages of 0 to 25 with special educational needs and disability (SEND) 
  • Parents and carers of children and young people aged 0 to 18 (or 25 with SEND) 
  • Professionals working with children and young people aged 0 to 18 (or 25 with SEND).

Emma Bennett, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Director of Children’s Services, said: “It is important that we focus on the emotional wellbeing of our city’s children and young people and ensure that they have the best services possible whenever they should need them.

“As a council, we are committed to improving the lives of young people and your views will play a key part in helping us do this.”

All survey responses will be kept confidential and no identifiable information will be collected.
