To:

1)   Enable participants to review the key discussion points related to their topic that were identified as a priority during workshop 2

2) Further discuss the steps that are required to achieve the action in this area and explore opportunity to link with other actions in the system

The focus group discussions were facilitated by Jenny Gillespie (lead discussion), Lorna Murray (live mapping, Kumu and monitor of chat), Mia Gonzalez-Noda (support discussion) and Caitlyn Kydd (note taker).

In advance of our focus group discussion, participants were given an information sheet to remind them of the events that occurred in workshop 2.  Participants offered existing or planned actions that could be added to the Kumu map.

Our conversation topics were: 'Safer/Greener Streets'& 'Development of PE' & 'Community Cook-it' & 'Licensing and Secondary School Lunch'.

Each group was recorded and we were able to take notes and live edit our Kumu map.

Thanks to all 21 participants for sharing their views and opinions.

• After the focus group discussion, we are going to liase with Dundee City Council regarding the safer streets pilot site in Fintry.

• Dundee City Council and Active Schools Team will take forward a proposal for testing a model of delivery.

• The existing community cook-it model will be delivered in early 2022, in parallel new modes of delivery that better meet the needs of communities will be explored.

• Tayside contracts, Dundee City Council and NHS staff will ensure there is follow up and engagement with young people regarding the recent school meal survey.

An additional three focus group discussions involving 11 children (aged 10-12 years) and 23 young people (aged 13-18) from 1 primary school and 7 secondary schools took place during this time, taking a different format using Ketso boards and post-it notes.  

The focus group discussions were facilitated by Jenny Gillespie, Caitlyn Kydd and Megan MacDonald.

The discussions centred around 3 of the 4 actions including 'Safer/Greener Streets', 'Development of PE' & 'Licensing and School Lunches'.
