In our latest blog we reflect on how we used illustrations, animations, music and art to engage young people in #codesign around #exploitation in East Riding. Check it out:

@BarnardosVI

*Job Alert* Enthusiastic engagement worker needed to co-ordinate and facilitate the involvement of children, young people and families in our partnership with East Riding Council. It's a fab team working to prevent exploitation #youthvoice #systemschange

Thanks @BarnardosVI 👍

Last week, @we_are_seen_ launched a national conference to explore key topics relevant to the experiences of African, Asian & Caribbean children and young people. We were amazed by the level of care put into the day and the diverse range of young voices contributing to the event.

@East_Riding @barnardos is calling on the Government to provide specialist support for all children in England & Wales who have experienced sexual and criminal exploitation. Sign the petition:

We thoroughly enjoyed running a #codesign workshop this week as part of our strategic partnership with @East_Riding on child exploitation and #systemschange. Thank you to the 42 professionals for your creativity and passion. Next stop - parents/guardians and young people.

These are internal events for now but do get in touch if you want to know more.

With 3 expert panellists - @DBetzH from @VisionariesEdu, Rachel Cook, from @NaturalEngland and @FifeClaire from B-Wild presenting showcases of their work, discussion & polling/questions.

And on the 25th April, we're hosting 'Mental health and the climate crisis: what role could Barnardo’s play?'

With 3 expert panellists - @rachelmusson79 from @thoughtbox_ed , @Carolinehickma from @UniofBath and @antoniawatts from @parents_4future presenting showcases of their work, discussion & polling/questions.

As part of the research we’re hosting some roundtables for Barnardo’s staff. The first is on the 18th of April - 'Wellbeing through access to nature: what role could Barnardo's play?’

Why would Barnardo's have an interest in this area you ask? The children and young people we support are a key, mostly powerless and impacted group.

We’re working with Barnardo’s Children’s Services and Sustainability team to understand what role Barnardo’s could play to support children and young people through the climate crisis.

Delighted to host it @thirdsectorlab ! Working with triggering content can have an impact on teams. We would like to see how we can improve that and start to develop best practice. Join us on 18th April

81% young people feel children aren't listened to on climate change (UNICEF). It's impacting their mental health. Insightful day yesterday at @BucksCouncil Youth Summit discussing this on a ‘debate wall’. Such thoughtful contributions + drawings #climateanxiety #youthvoice

Interesting and concerning insight from @childrensociety about the use of social media ads by criminals to exploit young people in the context of the cost of living crisis. #onlineharms
