Investing in Children

The Investing in Children Membership Award recognises and celebrates examples of imaginative and inclusive practice. Ginesa Suite received this award in May 2017 for demonstrating a commitment to dialogue with young people which leads to change. This membership ensures that young people in our care see themselves as part of a process; being partners with a valid contribution to make towards the design and delivery of our service. Their involvement affects service change and in return results in better outcomes. These changes can happen individually, at service level and others may result in a change of policy.

“We as young people are reassured when we visit somewhere and see an Investing in Children certificate that there will be someone there who actually listens to you and will be able to put forward ideas”. – Quote from young people involved in this process.
