Do you have any questions about involving 0-5 year olds in the Hear by Right participation process? Then come along to the free Hear by Right and Early Years National Learning Group on 28th January 2010 which is being run by National Youth Agency as part of Participation Works.

As well as a forum in which to discuss your specific questions in an open space format, this session will also be an opportunity to contribute to a briefing paper and practical toolkit The National Youth Agency has been drafting, that we hope to share with you before the meeting. To this end, I would be very interested in hearing from you before the meeting about:

Whether you have already used Hear by Right in an Early Years setting
Any general participation activities you have found particularly useful with 0-5 year olds
But whether you have actually used Hear by Right in an early years setting, or you work in an early years setting and are interested in taking part, we would warmly welcome your input and your expertise at the session

This learning group, held at the National Youth Agency in Leicester, will run from 11.00 - 15.30, lunch will be provided, and the group is free to attend. To book your place, please go to www.participationworks.org.uk/training, select the Hear by Right and Early Years event on the 28th Jan and follow the instructions

I have attached a flyer about the event in case this is useful to you, please feel free to forward to anyone you think may be interested in this session. For more details, please contact Jake Manning, Development Officer (Participation Works) on 07872376390 or jakem@nya.org.uk
