A group of young people that help to look after someone at home, told us that carrying a Young Carers Card would help them at school when they were having problems.
The Young Carers Card scheme is now under way in Kirklees, and following a successful presentation to the Youth Parliament, similar campaigns have begun in North Yorkshire and Sheffield!
Our last big residents’ survey was in 2008 and we’ve been working hard since then to try and improve things. Only a quarter of you felt you could influence local decision making.
We’ve told you more about opportunities to get involved through these pages, introduced an e-petitions system to make it easier for you to reach a bigger audience, and made our meetings more accessible through public webcasting – resulting in over 22,000 views. We're now analysing the results of our Your Place Your Say survey - we'll tell you what we've found out on here soon!
In a recent survey, GP and dental patients were very positive about current levels of hygiene within community healthcare, but many were unsure how to report any specific concerns that they might have and wished to learn more.
We held a week of events in October, coinciding with the National Infection Prevention and Control Week and schools’ half-term holidays. Over 1200 residents came along, to take part and learn about health subjects including good hand hygiene, food safety, meningitis and much more.
Hello, welcome to Involve
Involve is a tool to help Kirklees Council and local public services, such as NHS Kirklees, to plan and share community involvement work - like public events, surveys and consultation.
You can use it to find past, present and future involvement across Kirklees. Involve will tell you what's happened since the work has taken place as well, so you can see what difference getting involved has made.
You can use the calendar below to see what's happening, including things you can get involved in yourself.
