Impact

The aim of our project is to co-develop with children and young people a definition and system of child-focussed accountability that forces organisations to see children and young people as equal partners in the development and delivery of the services designed to support them, to embed this system across HHC and then to develop a toolkit that can be taken up by other organisations in order to effect systemic change at scale.

In the process we will also:

  • Help HHC increase its funding base
  • Grow and upskill its workforce.

Support other organisations to address this issue through the creation of a dedicated Radical Accountability Unit within the organisation to help share best practice.
