You're Welcome

The Department of Health's You're Welcome Guidance aims to ensure that all health services are young people friendly in order to improve health outcomes for young people.

Government Offices in four regions tested quality criteria for You're Welcome during the pilot phase in 2007/08. You're Welcome is being rolled out nationally as of 2008/09.

London's pilot areas led the way with models of young people's participation. Over 70 young people have been involved in quality assurance and verification of services self assessing against ‘You’re Welcome’ criteria during the pilot.

See You're Welcome on the Hot Topics section of this site for more information on work being undertaken in London.
