How To Get Involved
Current work
We are developing a rolling programme of Child's Voice Sessions, providing 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
We are running a pilot to test out some Infant Voice resources which includes guidance for workers from the babies point of view, making it clear that the child's voice is more than just speaking, and that workers need to consider me and my views and rights at all levels of decision making - in all encounters, in everyday spaces, ‘everywhere I am’.
If you would like more information or are interested in being involved in future activities do contact us
These are the types of things that we have done so far
- We held a conference based on things that children and young people had to say about feeling safe and unsafe in Cornwall.
This is a presentation of their feedback (video has no sound)
We did some focused work with children and young people and their parents and carers on the Isles of Scilly.
Children and young people asked us to think more about how we work with children and young people with disabilities, 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.
We have developed a toolkit for workers to help them hear and understand the living experience of babies, children and young people affected by domestic abuse, especially since they 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 held focus groups for feedback on the final version before it was published.
