Moving forward at Alder Hey Children's Hospital

Attached to this blog post is a report that illustrates how a rights approach can lead to significant changes within the 'lived lives' of children and young people. The Oncology Department at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool achieved Investing in Children Membership status in 2009. 

This re-evaluatioon report describes the progress that has been made since then. Based upon this, their Membership Award was renewed for another year.
 

Kath Birchall, the Department Manager, and her team have done a magnificent job, but its worth noting that the evidence in support of the Award comes from the young people themselves.
