PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME
Monday 9 December 2024
Youth Participation: Principles and Practices for Success
Time: 10am – 12pm
Platform: MS Teams
Delivered by: Bex Rushton – Torbay Council
Bexs Rushton is an experienced facilitator and advocate for youth participation. In this CPD session, Bexs will explore the concept of youth participation, focusing on Hart’s Ladder of Participation through engaging, scenario-based discussions. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the different levels of youth involvement and how to move towards more meaningful involvement of children and young people. Additionally, the session will delve into the Lundy Model, which provides a framework for understanding participation from a child’s rights perspective. This model emphasises the importance of giving children a voice and ensuring their views are taken seriously in decision-making processes. Bexs will also share insights on what has made a difference in the local authority she works in to support more meaningful involvement. Join Bexs for an insightful and interactive session that will equip you with practical tools and strategies to enhance youth participation in your work.
