Description
Through this deep listening exercise, we wish to gather qualitative intelligence to complement the quantitative data presented in Wigans Children's JSNA, as well as guiding health-strengthening actions with our children and young people in the places they live, play, learn and work. The primary objectives of the commission are to:
• Understand the health experiences of our children's young people and family communities including seldom heard voices and those who are disproportionately impacted by health inequalities.
• Support us to identify a framework for Child Health in Wigan, that makes improvements to the families, children's and young people's lives.
• Uncover both the risks and opportunities related to child health recognising the potential for positive interventions, that focus on community empowerment and whole system changes.
We are particularly interested in understanding how the wider determinants of health within our environment, including money and resources, living conditions, family factors, housing, peers and social groups, education, and employment impacts on children and young people's physical and mental wellbeing across the borough to inform system wide child health transformation.
What do children and families consider to be the impact of what we call 'the wider determinants' or building blocks of health (housing, education, employment,location, transport, food). And what are their experiences of inequalities in these areas.
Based on lived experiences, what are the opportunities for local preventative approaches to collectively improve child health outcomes, focusing on the true causes.
We would also like to understand what the response to the CYP JSNA from children and young people is. Do they feel that this represents their experiences within the borough, what is the perception and views of the inequalities shown.
We understand that there will need to be different layers and approaches to the engagement. We expect the approach to be co-created, steered and undertaken by children, young people and families themselves using participatory methods. The groups we want to engage with are:
• Families and young children (aged 0-5)
• Primary School age (and families)
• Secondary school and post education (11-19) (25 with SEND)
We are interested in a mixed and participatory approach to engagement, incorporating creativity through for example a range of creative and digital approaches. The methodology will be agreed via implementation meetings.
