Feedback on services for children and young people

The 'Have Your Say' team at City of York Council listens to feedback about council or local health services which children and young people have received.

Find out how to send:


Anyone can send feedback or make a complaint about a City of York Council service; this might be because they're:

  • unhappy with the service they received or they feel the service provider could have done things better
  • happy with the service they experienced and would like to let the service provider, or a named worker, know

You can make a complaint yourself; contact the council's Have Your Say Team.
