North Tyneside Council, in collaboration with Northumberland Council, Professor Andrew Turnell (University of Cumbria), Professor Eileen Munro (LSE), Dr Louise Caffrey (Trinity College Dublin), and Coram Voice, report their research into how to improve the inclusion of children’s and families’ voices in children’s social care data.

They recommend a new dataset and collection methodology, including feedback forms and mobile software for capturing children’s voices.

They also report insights from the Bright Spots programme - a Coram Voice research project that helps local authorities use children’s and young people’s voices to inform service development and strategic thinking.
