Would love to talk more as I was just discussing Devon's work with Carole Aspden, our PYO today. We're also looking at the same type of forums across West Sussex.

- HI Katie
Thanks for the message. I've also been off and sick so everything has been at a bit of a standstill for the moment. Yes I'm heading up to London for the 26th. I can't make the 27th unfortunately but will be up for the conference and then the NYA launch (once I get it sorted.) We've got some groups that are already running facebook etc but today we highlighted the need for guidelines etc. If there's time on the 26th to chat it would be great (I'm assuming you're there) or if you have any that you've put together that we could look at before then it would be really helpful.
Thanks
Hilary

Looks like I won't be able to make the 25/26th now. Maybe we can organise some time to meet up otherwise?

Joanne Jopling said… - Hi Katie
Thanks for all the info, had a quick look and am really looking forward to spending some time reading it properly.
currently im using Facebook and Msn messenger , and created a new project website, with hopefully forums that I hope to train some of the young women who I work with to become moderaters and admin assistants... as i would love it to be led by them.
Currently trying to work within... no policies or guidelines from the council ...but have shared my learning and explored the virtual world with colleagues. I will write some stuff up shortly, my work has all been practical and i think there are some interesting case studies to explore as worker and some of the challenges I have faced when working with young women online.

Morag Kingsbury said… - Hi Katie,
Thanks for getting in touch. I've got involved with this as we are currently doing our Safeguarding policy at church in Uplyme. I'd love to have a chat sometime/or see the risk assessment and policy. I'm head of St Andrew's Primary in Chardstock too. I'm really pleased that I can find out what is happening for workers in Devon. I'm particularly concerned to protect our youth workers as well as thinking about keeping kids safe and giving advice to parents. Any ideas are really welcome!
Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the info on the course in Belfast. I would love to take part in the course, just have to find out if I can get an organisation to pay for the course fees as I am a full time student at the moment so I will get back to you soon but hope to take part. What is the total for the 2 day course? I also might know a few full time professional senior youth workers that might be interested in taking part and will ask around.

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over. The assessment tools called ‘CAF Cards’ and ‘Road Sign Cards’ have been developed with young people to work with the…See More
