Barnardo's NI engaged with a range of young people to seek their views on the Partnership and Engagement Strategy and shared the following feedback on the accessibility of the Strategy: Young people told us that the Strategy was difficult to understand, with language that was inaccessible for young people.
They welcomed the purpose of the Strategy - to encourage engagement - however felt that the Strategy would benefit from having a user-friendly approach, including a child-friendly version and due consideration for people of all ages, abilities, languages, and experiences.
