Who turns up to a conference with giant red dice? 🎲 We do! Immensely proud of Abbie and Andrew who delivered a workshop on througcare support at the Staf No Cliff Edges: Pathways to Adulthood, Connection and Opportunity conference yesterday. They brought some principles of support to life through an interactive 'Game of Life'. A big thanks to the audience who engaged fully with the activity and shared their insights with Abbie and Andrew.

We're currently recruiting for new faces to join our friendly board of young people

We've learned that most children who join OHOV do so through word of mouth from an adult they trust, work with or who takes care of them- like a social worker, teacher, carer, family member, youth worker, or anyone else in their life. We are looking for your help to share this opportunity directly with children and young people or with other adults in your network who can do so.

Board member Ciara skilfully and passionately shared key messages from the OHOV guide with the Children's Hearings Improvement Partnership yesterday. The six themes of relationships, support, language, children's potential, children's information, and participation were shared through voice clips, videos, artwork, and even a 'Game of Life' to help bring the voices and asks of children across Scotland to life. We were encouraged by the commitment of the multi-agency audience to apply messages from the guide to improving children's experiences of the hearings system in Fife.

At yesterday's meeting OHOV board members considered the rights and entitlements care experienced young people should know about in relation to housing, education, employment, finance, wellbeing, leaving care, and more. We discussed what support is out there and how young people are made aware of their rights. Looking forward to progressing this work further as it's an area that our board members have been interested in for a while.
