How To Get Involved
Get Involved – Your Voice Matters!
What’s happening now?
We’re creating lots of chances for children and young people to share their ideas and feelings. Here’s a couple of things we’re doing:
Child’s Voice Sessions
We are developing a rolling programme of times where you can talk to people who make decisions about safeguarding services and help us plan for the future.
Infant Voice Pilot
We’re testing new ways to make sure even babies’ views are heard. Our resources include 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’.
What we've done so far
Conference about feeling safe
Children and young people told us what makes them feel safe or unsafe in Cornwall. We shared their ideas in a video (video has no sound if you would like a written report do contact us).
Work on the Isles of Scilly
We listened to children, young people, and families there to understand their experiences.
Inclusive communication
You asked us to think more about how we work with children with disabilities. So, we held a conference for workers to share tips on how to communicate with every child.
Toolkit for workers
We made a guide to help workers understand what life is like for babies, children, and young people affected by domestic abuse. It includes real quotes and ideas from children and young people.
