Since June 2009 the Medway Young Inspectors have helped evaluate services to help improve them for other young people. They look at the following questions:

1) Is the service accessible?
2) Is the service welcoming?
3) Is it clear what the services does?
4) Are young people satisfied with the service?
5) Are young people involved in making the service better?
