Consultation process
The YorOK Board launched a consultation on a
proposed 0-19 Healthy Child Service in May 2015. A key element of
the consultation has been to seek the views of a wide range of
people about how health visiting and school nursing services are
currently provided across the City and how the needs of residents
can be met in the future through a new single 0-19 Healthy Child
Service delivering both the HCP 0-5 and 5-19 elements. The
consultation was co-ordinated by the Children’s Trust Unit
and comprised of:
• Stakeholder mapping which was tabled at various forums for
scrutiny and feedback
• A development day was hosted by York Teaching Hospital NHS
Foundation Trust for all the health visiting and school nursing
staff to share the proposed vision for the new service and provide
an opportunity for them to help shape this and discuss the
challenges and potential opportunities it presents. This event was
attended by representatives from Vale of York CCG, local authority
public health and children’s services.
• Face to face discussions took place at a range of forums
including internal CYC meetings, the Youth Council, the ‘Show
Me I Matter’ Panel involving children in care, the
Headteacher’s forum for primary and secondary schools and
School Governors.
• Communication via the media to the public and via existing
communication channels to Vale of York Clinical Commissioning
Group, Partnership Commissioning Unit, NHS England, Public Health
England, Elected Members, staff in the council and partner
organisations including newsletters sent out to schools, colleges
and community and voluntary organisations. A dedicated email
account was set up for people to submit feedback.
• Three short confidential on-line surveys were disseminated
using Survey Monkey aimed at young people, parents and
practitioners.
