The new ‘children, young people and their communities network’ had its inaugural meeting on 25th of July at the Anna Freud national Center for Children and Families.  The aim of this first meeting was to set the direction of travel for the new group and develop a set of values and principles to guide the work of the network.  Follow the link below for notes from the meeting. The next step is to have a period of consultation to shape the principles.  The next meeting of the network is provisionally booked for 30th September, where the values will be reviewed in light of the comments received.   If you are interested in being part of the network or attending future network meetings please contact Joana or Ruby at [email protected] or Duncan Law [email protected] the interim network lead. Please get all comments back to Ruby, Joana or Duncan by the 25th Sept.
