Welcome to our final day of our week on helping families and giving children and young people the best start to life.
This short blog is to provide a pointer for what we have coming up today and some things you may want to book for later in the week but as this is a week of ‘action’ we would also like to encourage you to use the week as an opportunity to post details on what you are doing, to share successes or make a pledge to do something that ensures children and young people are at the heart of what we do.
Our Twitter hashtag for this week is #PHPCYPWeek (Population Health Practice/Practitioners Children and Young People Week), so please try to use it and get us trending.
Today’s theme is ‘Helping Children and Young People to Learn and Grow’
Today is also #TakeoverDay http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/takeover_day A chance for young people to work with adults for a day and get involved in decision-making. If you are involved and want to share your experiences why not Tweet and let everyone involved in #PHPCYPWeek know.
