Children & young people digital steering group

What is this project about?

The Children and Young People Digital Steering Group was established to co-design the digital offer for the Young Health Hub (Tower Hamlets), including the service website and wider digital engagement.

Through a series of structured workshops, children and young people work alongside ECHO staff and digital leads to shape how the service should look, feel and function online. This includes exploring what makes a good website, how young people navigate digital spaces, and how information can be made accessible, engaging and easy to understand.

The project ensures that the digital platform is designed with children and young people, reflecting their needs and preferences from the start.

Phase 2: Social Media & Health Literacy (Current phase)

The group are now focusing on shaping the Young Health Hub social media presence and improving how health information is communicated to young people.

This includes:

• Co-designing social media pages and content
• Exploring what makes content engaging, relatable and trustworthy
• Developing ideas to improve health literacy
• Creating and testing content that supports young people to better understand and access health information
• Ensuring messaging is clear, youth-friendly and accessible
