  • Create and run workshops for professionals to improve practice
  • Develop campaigns to change policy and the working practices of professionals
  • Share your views with government, social services and others to create change
  • Work with the media to change public perception

 

What you’ll get:

  • Take part in a free training programme to get skills and knowledge of:
    – Young people’s rights around school exclusion
    – Campaigning and making change
    – Engaging with the media
    – Workshop design and facilitation skills
