Young people in Magherafelt have their say on local services
Young people from the Magherafelt area are helping to shape and make decisions about what services should be available for children, young people and their families in the area. As part of the children’s services planning process these young people are working in partnership with local service providers to highlight the issues which are important to them.
Magherafelt Locality Planning Group recently invited children and young people in the area to respond to a ‘Have Your Say’ survey to identify how their needs can be addressed by the Locality Action Plan. Young people aged from 7 to 18 years submitted 220 responses. Their views will inform a local action plan for service development and will also set out how children and young people will be involved in this work in the future.
If you are a young person aged between 7and 18 years and would like to “have your say” on what it is like for you living in the Magherafelt area, please contact Sandra Anderson, Participation Development Officer, on 028 2563 6609 or e-mail here.

Supported by Magherafelt District Council and the Children and Young Peoples Strategic Partnership, and with membership from all local statutory, voluntary and community sector organisations the group aims to improve outcomes for children and young people in the area. The Group is committed to ensuring that children, young people and parents are involved in the planning of services. This work is the first stage in that process. The information collected will inform a local action plan for service development and will also set out how children and young people will be involved in this work in the future.
Marie Donaghy,Northern Regional College, Chair said “Magherafelt Locality Planning Group understands the important role children and young people have in the planning process. We are looking forward to working with all children and young people in the area as our action plan develops.
