Young Devon - Championing the Safe Network

Young Devon is now the Devon Safe Network Champion. The Safe Network is managed by the NSPCC, Children England and the Child Accident Prevention Trust, and provides information and resources to keep children and young people safe. Information available relates to activities outside the home – from after school art clubs to weekend reading groups. Safe Network resources are easily accessible on their website.

Participation In Action (PIA)

Young people can get involved by doing the Passport to Participation, an accredited training programme to explore the perspectives and beliefs of others and help develop confidence and awareness of childrens' rights and responsibilities.

Young People of Devon (YPoD)

Young People of Devon (YPoD) are an independent body of young people who commit to support Young Devon in developing our services and ensuring that we are scrutinised in the same way we expect other services to be! YPoD are made up of Young Ambassadors (volunteers) who have their own HQ in our Change Academy building in Newton Abbot.

CPD training available to other organisations

Young Devon has a commitment to the ongoing CPD of the sector. Work in partnership with Ellen Tinkham School we deliver person-centred training for a wide range of multi-agency staff, including teachers, head teachers, SENCO's, LSA's, social workers, Independent Reviewing Officers, and youth workers. This has significant impact on the way that professionals listen and respond to young people, and is working equally as well with young people that have emotional and behavioural difficulties as those with special educational needs.
