Consultation with Children and Young People:

The NCC and Nottinghamshire DAAT partnership has commissioned the Personal and Social Development Initiative (PSDI) team to develop an interactive drama based workshop for children and young people, to raise their awareness of the U&S policy, with a focus on keeping them safe.
The pilot workshops are planned to target vulnerable groups and will take place in a number of different settings. The idea is that the pilots will inspire the interest children and young people. From this it is hoped that the children and young people may want to produce their own version of the policy, to raise the awareness of other children and young people. To support the pilot workshops for children and young people, managers and staff are also being identified to take part. They will receive consultation and training around the key themes and content of the U&S policy, so that they are able to support any of the issues which children and young people may raise as a result of the drama based workshops.
