A notice from Cammie Evans, Surrey Youth Cabinet Participation Lead, User Voice and Participation Team The Our Voice Matters survey is a chance for all young people aged 7 to 25 in Surrey to have their say on a range of important topics. The survey has been co-designed by a wonderful steering group of young people who have come together to decide on the topics and help design the questions. This survey happens every two years and is key in improving Surrey services. We have a video explaining more here, and also the prize draw to win an annual pass to one of Surrey’s theme parks!

There will be three ‘Lunch and Learn Continuum of Support Sessions’ running on 9th April, 14th May and 19th June from 12pm-1pm via Teams.   Who are these sessions for? These sessions are for everyone who works with children and their families in Surrey, whether in a statutory or voluntary capacity to support the use of this guidance document in their work.   What are the benefits? These sessions will support clarity and guidance to partners working with children and Families to help consider who is best to be leading on early support to meet the child and family's needs and the type of support available below the threshold for statutory children’s safeguarding services.   The Surrey Safeguarding Children's Partnership developed the Continuum of support guidance with partners to reflect the changing landscape of children’s social care policy, alongside families, and partners’ feedback.   What will I learn? You will hear how to use the new Continuum of Support when making decisions on the appropriate response to children’s needs, from those children who are thriving to those who need statutory intervention.   Here are the booking links:   9th April - https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ccd31200-8cea-42a5-a5eb-8e5c8fd4e648@d961b545-104c-4ed0-8582-1f570f0595cd   14th May - https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/1f92cbe9-99cc-4a45-8257-1a366f74f0b3@d961b545-104c-4ed0-8582-1f570f0595cd   19th June - https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ddcd6c5a-1275-4397-9292-43b62301c07b@d961b545-104c-4ed0-8582-1f570f0595cd   Any questions please direct them to:   Emma Dutton Project Officer - Family Support Early Help Partnerships Email: emma.dutton@surreycc.gov.uk
