Young People Invited to Help Shape the Future of PAUSE
Young people across Birmingham are being encouraged to share their experiences and ideas as part of a review of PAUSE, Forward Thinking Birmingham's support service for young people.
The service is inviting anyone who has used PAUSE to complete a short survey that will help inform discussions about the future of the service and ensure that young people's voices remain at the heart of decision-making.
The survey asks young people about their experiences of using PAUSE, what they found helpful, what could be improved, and what support they feel young people need most. Participants are also encouraged to share ideas about what they would like PAUSE to offer in the future.
The initiative is built around the principle of "Nothing About Us, Without Us", recognising the importance of involving young people directly in shaping services designed to support them.
Feedback will be anonymous, take just a few minutes to complete, and will play an important role in helping service leaders understand what matters most to the young people who access support.
By taking part, young people can help ensure their experiences, views and suggestions are considered as plans for the future of PAUSE are developed.
Forward Thinking Birmingham believes every voice matters and is encouraging as many young people as possible to get involved.
A spokesperson for Forward Thinking Birmingham said:
"The best way to improve services is by listening to the people who use them. We want to hear directly from young people about their experiences of PAUSE, what is working well, and where we can do better. Their feedback will help shape the future direction of the service and ensure it continues to meet the needs of young people across Birmingham."
Young people who have used PAUSE can access the survey by scanning the QR code on promotional materials or visiting the survey link shared through Forward Thinking Birmingham's channels.
Every voice matters. Together, we can build a service that works for young people.
