We’ve had a brilliant couple of days away in #Manchester as a team 💚
Spending time together to re-connect as human beings & update our team objectives and work plan — focusing on how we support, guide & enable the charity to deliver on its 3-year strategy.
Onwards & upwards 🙌

Today marks Dr Barnardo's birthday! 🎂
There's something quite poignant about Dr Barnardo’s birthday falling in #CoProWeek this year - the charity has always championed children being heard & sharing their lived experience, & we have the hard evidence to prove it! 1/

With permission & huge thanks to our brilliant archive, we've been allowed to share these snippets of three records from 1873.
👋 Meet William, Charles & George. Read their own words about their circumstances as young men living in London in need of support from Barnardo's 👇

😍 We've launched a refreshed #Voice & #LivedExperience Approach! It:
🔎 clarifies terms we use
💬 provides a rights-centred 'plan-do-review' framework
🌈 helps makes sense of the ways we work with children & young people
We're excited to implement it across the charity! 💚
Josh, our head of team, posted a copy of the new Approach, with some additional intro remarks, on LinkedIn this morning. Link here 👇

AND - in the true spirit of the week - we had 6 young people themselves share their own views, experiences, tips and suggestions about how to better involve young people in our recruitment processes 🥰

This week, we presented our 2023-24 Annual Report to our @barnardos Board of Trustees.
Here's a few headlines we're really proud of 💚
'Nothing about us, without us', to coin the phrase!
Centring, listening and responding to the voices and experiences of children and young people should always be central to decision-making - that's why it's one of our @barnardos foundations 🙌
Clarity on importance of real engagement and true partnerships with children and young people from this panel 👏Really need to know what good health means to them to be able to improve services. Some get practical advice too! @rukshanakapasi @barnardos #NHSConfedExpo
Really interesting discussion at @SLGInvolvement today about ‘breadth vs depth’ in working with those with lived experience, and how this looks/feels in different organisations — what works & what doesn’t.
Looking forward to joining colleagues at @SLGInvolvement today — always a great space to learn, share and problem-solve together.
