your area?
They felt they were being consulted well on matters that affected their lives. They said there were many projects and events to have a voice about what happens in RBKC and that they were listened to in positive ways. They felt proud to live in the Royal Borough and this was a nice place to grow up. There was plenty to do and they felt safe walking in the area. They enjoyed opportunities to learn and to support one another in school and local communities. They liked mentoring each other and felt they were being treated with respect.
p.3
in my area?
Children and young people in RBKC get good health care and support and encouragement to live healthy lifestyles. Children and young people feel safe in RBKC and they are clear about how to get help and support when needed. There are very good chances to make a contribution to the communities and a great deal of effort is being made to respond to the needs of the many different groups in the borough. Children and young people are achieving well at school and have many chances to enjoy leisure time. The play strategy where children were closely involved in its production is very good indeed.
p.3
What things are not so good for children and young people?
Many children and young people have to go out of the borough to school although they attended junior schools in RBKC. They would prefer to stay in the borough if possible. Some young people were concerned about the way the immigration and asylum system was working and how this made things difficult for them in terms of their education, training and employment opportunities. Young carers said they would like to become more involved in the planning of services and felt they had a great deal to contribute to this. Kensington and Chelsea children and young people’s report 4
p.3
What things are not so good for children and young people?
Choices for training and preparation by young people for work were sometimes less than is needed and they would like more opportunities at this important time in their lives.
