Our team utilise a range of creative maker activities such as arts and music media to enable participation and have skills in advocacy through broadcasting and podcasting. Our street based outreach practice has been developed through a learning history beyond the organisation across 3 generations of professional practice within our team. We intend to enable participants to experience creative engagement methods and reflect on their engagement plans identifying utilising these in practice. Free 2 Talk led the Children and Young People’s Participation & Engagement work for the Integrated Care System for the Access Pillar of transformation and led the focus groups for the most recent JSNA. We intend to showcase approaches to blending research data to reach confident conclusions and recommendations.
