Children & Young People's Services Plan 2026-29 Consultation

Whose voice did we hear?

275 children and young people, 114 parents & carers and 137 members of the multi agency workforce across Aberdeenshire.

Why were we asking about this?

To inform the development of Aberdeenshire’s Children and Young People’s Services Plan 2026–29. It helped us understand what matters most to children, young people and families and to shape shared priorities and commitments to improve wellbeing outcomes.

What did we hear?

A very wide variety of responses regarding how well Aberdeenshire's past priorities have been met and what children, young people, their families and the workforce feel needs to be focused on for 2026-2029.

What did we do with the voices we heard?

What we heard has directly influenced our decisions regarding the focus for 2026-2029. This can be seen in the published plan (LINK).
