Fellow The Royal Society for Arts| Co-Chair Sustainable Recruitment Alliance Student Advisory Board| Undergraduate of the Year Celebrating Neurodiverse Talent Finalist 2024 & Top 10 Undergraduate of Year 2023
The evidence session in Parliament I watched yesterday was brilliant (you can just about spot me in the left corner). Very informative and is a testament to the progress we hope to make to protect care-experienced people’s rights ❤️🏴. The session provided me with plenty of opportunities to reflect on my work with care-experienced young people and further evidence my choices of priorities (education, employment & health and wellbeing) should I be elected as MSYP for Who Cares? Scotland, with a holistic approach required by The Scottish Government to ensure real progress is made to help care-experienced people have the same rights and opportunities as their peers. One particular moment stood out to me was the figure of 10% rise in homelessness in care-experienced people across Scotland in the last year. In that moment, I remember thinking ‘you were almost one of those 10%’ and that’s where it all started. To think that is how I started working with Unite Foundation and looking into Who Cares? Scotland because I couldn’t find a community that understood what I was going through, shocked me because the stigma I faced was mainly down to a lack of understanding from the people who were supposed to support me. Finding a rental guarantor was impossible for me and I thought I was alone until I found out from these groups that it is not uncommon. I had the proof of income from my job and student finance to cover more than the years rent. Yet because of my lack of guarantor I was made to find over £4500 out of essentially thin air. It has to change, it affected my studies, work and was detrimental to my mental health. So, those among you that probably think I work too hard. Well, I’m still trying to make myself financially secure so I don’t have to worry about becoming homeless because unlike many of my peers, this fear is a constant thought in care-experienced people’s minds. We can make the change by advocating for and protecting care-experienced people’s rights and learning from our experiences to support us. You can help to make a massive difference to our quality of life. Although, I couldn’t be there today to watch, my sentiments are the same that we have a lot of progress to make to end the stigma and challenges facing care-experienced people. It starts with the recognition of the life long impact it leaves on us. #lifelongrights #endthecarecliff #msypelections #AllofUsCommunity #endthestigma

If your organisation engages with children and young people, it could be required to comply with the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework — a new legally mandated framework that organisations will need to follow from 2024 onwards. The Framework recognises that for children and young people to be safe in our community, they need to be safe in our organisations. That’s why it outlines specific principles and responsibilities that organisations need to follow to maintain a truly child-centred and child-safe culture. While all Tasmanian organisations should work to be child and youth safe, specific organisations will be required to comply with the Framework by law. These organisations will receive educational resources and support to help them bring the Framework to life in a way that makes sense for them. To find out more about the Framework, go to: https://lnkd.in/gSxAeUkg

Let’s Decide Together! I am happy and proud to promote this guide on how to engage with children in making important public decisions! This guide (developed in the framework of the Council of Europe’s CP4EUROPE project) is about how possible break up with a past of silence of children, set under the famous sentence dating back in the 15th century: “children should be seen, not heard”. In the light of Laura Lundy’s encouragement, this guide should demystify the need for perfection in child participation. It should encourage those who are curious, courageous, and visionary about child participation to try it out when making policy decisions. The emerging decisions will be more authentic, adapted to the needs of the communities, inclusive to any form of diversity and supported by everyone in the community. https://lnkd.in/dBgCDsVv
