In this month’s on-line meeting, we had x8 young people attend with one apology!
The session began with Laura (Advice & Engagement Worker – Norfolk SENDIASS) leading on a game of “Scavenger,” where she invited everyone to share something they love on their screens!! This included vintage consoles and pets including a living tortoise!!
Laura also shared a poster made to promote engagement opportunities and sought feedback from the group!
We were joined this month by Paul Webb, (Norfolk County Council - Strategic Lead for Youth & Participation Partnerships, Inclusion and Practice), who came along to discuss the Flourish awards and to seek up volunteers to join him and other young people from a variety of participation groups in Norfolk, to be part of the Flourish Awards Judging panel.
We can confirm that one of our members, Charlotte has volunteered, and we are confident she will be great at considering all the nominations, fairly, and putting her views forward.
We were also pleased to share with the group, that we have nominated the Norfolk SEND Youth Forum for a Flourish Award , to acknowledge and recognise the brilliant work which they do throughout the year; in working together to improve services and experiences for young people with Special Educational needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Our members spoke about how they are looking forward to SENDFEST 24, and we hope to see them all during this two-day event in June! We will have a Youth Forum stall in the SENDFEST Marketplace, please do come and see us, if you are there over the weekend of 1st & 2nd June!!
Bridget Robinson, Engagement and Advice Worker
