The Service will: i. Develop the representative formal participation structures of: LINX (Listen, Inform, Negotiate and Xpress) the children in care council and POWAR (Participate, Opportunity, Win, Achieve, Respect) the SEND forum. ii. Enable CLA and SEND CYP to take an active part in planning, developing and reviewing the services they use. iii. Ensure that the views of CLA and SEND CYP are embedded in services, are heard and effect change. iv. Play an active role in developing and embedding participation in Lancashire. The Service will develop and build on the principle that all CYP, particularly those who are looked after and those with SEND, should not only participate in the decisions that affect their lives but that they should also be empowered to take part in democratic society.
