Inspiring Young Voices are really excited to let us know that the Connections project will continue. Due to popular demand, they are offering 7 more sessions for young people, culminating in the creation of a 'Welcome to the Highlands Guide' for new arrivals and a new performance for Eden Courts Youth Arts Festival which also coincides with Refugee Festival Scotland. Both of these outcomes came out of their graduation/evaluation session.

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.
