Sheffield's new Children in Care Council are recruiting! Are you aged 13-18 and currently in care? Or do you know someone who is? If so, this is a great opportunity...
Good luck to all the young people getting their GCSE results today :-)
Check out this event! It is a fun community event organised by young people...
Well done to Dayna, one of our Young Inspectors for getting her Children's University Certificate. She's clocked up 22 hours of inspections! Thanks for all your hard work!
We are excited to be off to Bromley this morning to train 60 social workers over two days on how to use their Communi-crates. Bromley Council have purchased 12 Communi-crates for their social care teams to use in direct work with children and young people.
We delivered three days of our 'Communicating With Children' training course to senior social workers in the Czech Republic!
We are currently delivering three days of our Communicating With Children training course to senior social workers in the Czech Republic! Lumos, the charity that commissioned the training in Prague, have also used our Communi-crate as a blueprint to provide each participant with a box of resources they can use with children - we hope they enjoy using these resources and everything they learn on the course helps them in their work!
The Young Inspectors inspected a Sheffield Sharks Match at the English Institute of Sport, on Friday 31st January! They awarded them 5/5 stars! 'It's an activity for everyone.' 'We would love to go again.' The Sharks beat the London Lions in nail biting extra time! Well done Sharks!!! www.sharksbasketball.co.uk
