Our children and

young people say

We would like the

people who work for Children and Family Health Devon to be understanding,

patient and respectful. They should be trustworthy and make us feel safe and

comfortable. It is important that they use their skills and experience to

listen carefully in a non-patronising and non-judgemental way. When staff are

positive and friendly, they help to create an environment that is informal and

without pressure.
