Listening to the voices of young people in Luton

Summary of report content

Healthwatch Luton ran a Youth Forum after speaking to nearly 100 young people in 2016 who told us they wanted to share their experiences, and have their voices heard.

Our first Youth Forum took place on 30 May 2017 with TOKKO Youth Space.

The main areas of discussion were:

• More awareness of services for young people

• More support for young people accessing services

• Long waiting times for services

• Stigma around services such as sexual and mental health

• Highlighting the lack of integration of services, between schools and educational services and health and social care

The youth forum agreed that Healthwatch Luton should organise more Youth Forums, to promote health and social care issues more and to run more targeted events on health and social care.
