Charter Mark
Our Participation Officers work to make sure that young peoples voices are heard on things that happen within the Council. Our young people have therefore voted on a Charter Mark which will be used to indicate when young people have been consulted on a project. This mark is an indicator that young people within Darlington’s voices have been listened to when working on -this project.
