You Said, We Did
Thank you to everyone who took part in our online website consultation. We will now review your feedback and let you know our responses and actions in the below You Said, We Did.
What you say really makes a difference. Don't just take our word for it see what has changed as a result of young people telling us what they think.
| You said | We did |
|---|---|
| It would be better if there was a more meaningful photo used for the drugs, alcohol and addiction thumbnail. | We used a more meaningful photo. |
| The website is difficult to navigate because there are too many topics in some sections. | We revised the thumbnails on the home page to help split up topics and changed page layouts, so the user can expand to find out more information. |
| You asked for information on Money matters. | We have updated the website to include information on Money Matters, including Budgeting, money problems and debt, tax and pensions, banking and credit |
