Support in Kinship Care...
Highland Council's Child Rights and Participation Service would like to hear from children and young people in kinship care.
They are interested to know what support would be helpful to you.
You can email them at KeepingThePromise@highland.gov.uk or you can scan the QR code in the picture to answer some questions on a Microsoft Form.
The information they gather will be used to inform what support children and young people in kinship care can access.
Safe Spaces Consultation
Safe Spaces Consultation
Youth Highland have been funded by Bairns Hoose to carry out a consultation with young people to help better understand what components and elements are required to provide ‘safe spaces’ for children and young people.
They are looking to carry out surveys, focus groups and one to one conversations with young people.
Through the consultation process they will seek to have conversations with young people who do and do not engage in diversionary leisure activities , and young people who have and have not been involved in the criminal justice system.
The consultation process will be carried out using fun and interactive methods.
They would like to come and visit your organisation and meet with the young people that you work with.
For more information or to get involved, please contact clair.wallace@youthhighland.org.uk to arrange a time that best suits you and the groups that you work with.
The Highland Child Protection Committee (HCPC) and the Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ) have worked together to create a resource for supporting children and young people from across Highland to have their voice heard.
HCPC want to ensure that children and young people's views and rights are at the centre of youth justice service design and recognise and are committed to #KeepingThePromise where one of the 5 foundations are VOICE. This states that children and young people should be actively and meaningfully included in decisions about their care.
If you would like to get involved and have your say on:
Understanding Rights
Safe spaces to talk to trusted adults
Experiences of the justice system
Then please contact the HCPC Team and they will find the best person to link you up with to have your voice heard.
