Healthwatch Bristol ‘You Said, We Did’ report summary of work report from Young Healthwatch Bristol.
Children and Young People told Healthwatch Bristol they needed more support to develop
their resilience and wellbeing before they became ill with a mental health illness.
Healthwatch Bristol responded by choosing Children and Young People’s Mental Health and
Wellbeing as their focus topic for January-March 2015. This is a very comprehensive break down of the activities and findings of the work that Healthwatch Bristol and their young Healthwatch branch engaged with and goes into great detail over 5 sections. Young Healthwatch is one part of Healthwatch Bristol. Young Healthwatch gives children and young people a strong voice in health and social care services.
This included two young Healthwatch events in February and October 2014. From January 2015- April 2015, Healthwatch Bristol chose Young People and Mental Health as their quarterly focus; recruited and trained young people as Young Champions; supported young people to train and volunteer as Young Champions; worked with Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group to include young people in the development of Children’s Community Health Services; supported a group of young people to work with the local CCG to be involved in the re-commissioning process for Children’s Community Health Services in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. There are further examples throughout the report in Sections 1 and 2.
In Sections 3, the report outlines actions that Healthwatch Bristol took following this activity and which statutory bodies the followed up with.
