Join us for Community of Practice Session with special guests Child Health Promise Speech & Language Therapists Joanne Johnson and Shona MacPherson.
What is communication? Linking Speech, Language and Communication Differences to UNCRC and The Promise.
Many Children and Young People who are care experienced have unidentified speech, language and communication needs. In order to continue to #KeepThePromie this session will look at what commincation is and the different ways we communicate. We’ll discuss what happens when communication breaks down and what can we all to do support our children and young people who are care experienced when this happens.
Connect with practitioners across Highland, and hear from local and national voices, to explore how we can meaningfully embed the Highland Children & Young People Participation Strategy in everyday practice.
Monthly sessions will include:
- Presentations from local or national speakers
- Q&A to deepen understanding
- Time for conversation, networking and informal sharing to support collaboration across Highland
Together, we’ll look at how others are working with children and young people to bring the Strategy to life and strengthen participation across services.
Our work is underpinned by the Lundy Model of Participation, the UNCRC, GIRFEC, and The Promise.
