Final workshop of the day focussed on the Barnardo's Scotland approach to embedding #childrenrights & #UNCRC across our work — all to help us #KeepThePromise

Final plenary hearing final reflections from a panel of Barnardo's Scotland, The Promise Scotland & Each and Every Child colleagues — important final messages about how we can all #KeepThePromise. Massive 👏👏👏 to Louise, Viv, Faith & the team for a brilliant, uplifting & stimulating day.

Looking forward to joining colleagues at Shared Learning Group on Involvement today — always a great space to learn, share and problem-solve together.

Really interesting discussion at Shared Learning Group on Involvement today about ‘breadth vs depth’ in working with those with lived experience, and how this looks/feels in different organisations — what works & what doesn’t.

'Nothing about us, without us', to coin the phrase! Centring, listening and responding to the voices and experiences of children and young people should always be central to decision-making - that's why it's one of our Barnardo’s foundations 🙌

This week, we presented our 2023-24 Annual Report to our Barnardo’s Board of Trustees. Here's a few headlines we're really proud of 💚

It's #CoProWeek! This week, we're sharing and celebrating examples of where children and young people have shared power and decision-making with us across Barnardo’s. At today's Voice & Influence Community of Practice we focussed on this super important area of our work 💚

AND - in the true spirit of the week - we had 6 young people themselves share their own views, experiences, tips and suggestions about how to better involve young people in our recruitment processes 🥰 #CoProWeek #CoProductionWeek
