WAY- What have they been doing?
Wiltshire Assembly of Youth just wanted to update you with what they have been doing over the last few months.
We have been continuing to ensure that young peoples views are being heard on a range of important sub groups including- The 11 - 19 Implimentation Group, Local Safeguarding Childrens Board, Children and Young Peoples Stakeholder Partnership, Childrens Select Committee etc... (If you want to know more about these groups contact WAY via Hayley at Hayley.Bambrough@wiltshire.gov.uk).
We have also been really busy this year taking part in a range of consultations on different strategies including: 11 - 19 Strategy, Poverty strategy, Children in Care strategy, Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health strategy and the Children and Young Peoples Plan. Most of the reports for these strategies can be found on sparksite.
In addition we have supported the Voice and Influence team to run a range of events including Local Democracy Week Roadshows.
Probably our biggest focus this year though is preparing for our Mental Health Conference in February 2012- that we look forward to seeing lots of young people at.
Check out the links for our recent WAY meeting agenda's and minutes. If you have an issue that you would like to bring to the WAY agenda then please let us know. We are here to represent the views of young people in Wiltshire, so would love to discuss any issues you may have. We have no agenda on here for August as that is our annual all day summer outing (We went to Thorpe Park!), and we also don't have one for September, as our September meeting was taken over by the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). We had a really good September meeting and it has given us some great material for our Mental Health Conference.
We look forward to hearing from you!
