How To Get Involved

These are the types of things that we have done so far
In 2023 we held a conference based on things that children and young people had to say about feeling safe and unsafe in Cornwall. Click here for a video of their feedback, and this is how we have responded to what we heard

Children and young people on the Isles of Scilly
Recommendations made as a result+
In October 2023 we did some focussed work with children and young people and their parents and carers on the Isles of Scilly.
UPDATE - May 2024 - Parents and young people have told us that they sometimes worry about the behaviour of seasonal workers. In response to this, the Isles of Scilly Police team, in conjunction with partners, are in the process of providing talks to seasonal workers to offer advice and safeguarding support information whilst working and living on Scilly.

Safeguarding children and young people with disabilities
'Top Tips When Communicating with me' +
At our last event with children and young people, they asked us to work on
- Promoting enabling attitudes from early on (child to adulthood)
- Raising awareness of barriers (physical and attitudinal)
- More training for those working with C&YP with disabilities
- Communicating in a variety of accessible formats
So we held a half day conference for colleagues across the partnership about inclusive communication. These were the 'top tips' from children and young people and we shared more information here about communication with all children and young people.
More on the way+
How we hear and understand the living experience of children and young people affected by domestic abuse
A toolkit for workers to help them hear the voices of children and young people and what is important to them especially since babies, children and young people have been recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right and should therefore have access to services and support. The toolkit includes quotes, case studies and tips from children and young people all the way through it and we plan to hold a focus group for final feedback from young people before the final version is published.
Infant Voice resources
A pledge and some guidance for workers from the babies point of view about how to consider me and my views and rights at all levels of decision making - in all encounters, in everyday spaces, ‘everywhere I am’. We are just about to launch a pilot to test out what we have so far.
We are currently developing more opportunities for you to
- talk with decision makers and work with the Independent Scrutineer
- share your thoughts and experiences about how you think the system is working
- and help us to shape our future plans
