Event Details

The National Youth Agency for Participation Works is convening a second national learning group looking at involving disabled children and young people in the Hear by Right participation process.  We ran a similar event last year and the evaluation from colleagues valued the networking, contacts and the variety of organisations sharing similar issues and trying for solutions. Others said they felt more confident to push for using Hear by Right to promote the participation of children and young people with disabilities and felt more able to get support for more time to include disabled children and young people.

The learning group, held in the Albion Room at The National Youth Agency in Leicester, will run from 11-5 and lunch will be provided.  The group is free to attend.  Because of limited capacity of 25 people, unfortunately we only have space for one person per organisation. 

 

One of the key recommendations from last year was to produce a Hear by Right briefing paper focusing on work with disabled children and young people.  NYA has been working with NCDC to draft something that we hope to share with you before the meeting in November and for the meeting in turn to influence the final publication.

 

For more details, please contact Harry Wade, Development Officer (Participation Works) on 07715 767951 or harryw@nya.org.uk  Harry is back from leave on 21st September.
