Children and Young People Involvement Network
ChYPIN stands for the Children and Young People Involvement Network.
Each meeting looks at a different issue which concerns children and young people, and canvasses the concerns and views of the people involved in the meetings. About 70-80 children, young people and adults are involved in each meeting.
After each meeting, the views are written up into reports which then go on to inform future policy and planning for the Children, Young People and Families Directorate of Oxfordshire County Council.
You can find out more about ChYPIN here.
