Staff Development Training
Investing in Children has a
programme of training which it delivers to partners and organisations
including the Development Agency.
The overall
purpose of the staff development training is to create a greater
understanding of the issues faced by children and young people in
society. The training is always delivered by 2 adults and 2 young
people. It is very interactive and gives the participants lots of
opportunities to challenge their own thinking about the position
children and young people hold in society. It examines the following
issues:
·
The position of
young people in society by examining society views on childhood
·
Understanding the
concept of dialogue (as opposed to consultation)
·
Understanding what is
meant by participation
·
Young people as
citizens now
·
Challenging
attitudes by presentation and discussion of the above key issues
·
Practical examples in
the form of case studies for group discussion
Here are some images from a recent
training day for the 5 Boroughs Partnership.
