On 25 May we held an event for all LINk stakeholders interested in Children and Young People's (CYP) issues. It was designed to enhance communication and partnership working of those with an interest in the health and well being of young people. We were really pleased with the turnout. More than 30 people attended including representatives from Barnardos, Roundabout, Shine and Right Here, a YMCA project. The event started with a number of presentations on current CYP work. Kerry Jones and Kath Johnson from Sheffield City Council's 0-19 Partnership shared, and had a quiz on, the key health findings from last year's 'Every Child Matters' consultation (see picture). Then Jane Fenelon from NHS Sheffield, together with young volunteers Billy and Peter, discussed the 'You're Welcome Standards' where young people are trained up to visit health services and make suggestions on how they can be more young-people friendly. We also heard from Paul Ironmonger of Barnsley LINk about their work in this area. Following the presentations, everyone split into groups to discuss how Sheffield LINK can better work with our stakeholders and directly with young people. There were some very useful suggestions that have been taken to our CYP Committee's discussions on moving forward. |
