Who are Young Inspectors?

​

Young Inspectors are young people who have experience of having a social worker and of getting support from Camden Safeguarding and Social Work service (CSSW).

Every year, a team of Young Inspectors undertake research into the views of other service users and professionals about the services provided by partner agencies responsible for safeguarding children.

The Young Inspectors are young people aged 16-25.They are selected through an interview process and are involved in designing and conducting each inspection. The strength of the Young Inspectors is that they can apply their own experiences and knowledge of the service to the inspection.

Once a team of Young Inspectors is selected, young people get support and training to help them in their role of inspecting services.
