Accountability to young stakeholders is crucial. <br><br>So often services for young people fail to recognise young people as their stakeholders and (for lack of better non-market terminology that gets at the point) their customers. Instead, they end up focussing on their accountability to funders, parents, local authority etc. <br><br>Those accountabilities are relevant - but its effectively being accountable to young people that will really lead to service improvement. <br><br>We started to explore some of the issues of how young people hold services to account when we ran consultations on the local offer last year - and it's a line of exploration that definitely needs to be taken further....Tim DaviesMon, 17 Mar 2008 13:34:27 -0000
