The Brent Youth Forum has been established to ensure young people have their say on what they want to see in the Borough of Brent. The forum will be aimed at 14 - to 25-year-olds who have SEND, who have and don’t have an EHCP plan as well as those who are in the NEET group.
The Brent Youth Forum has its members so debuted our first event on Wednesday March 20th
The event focused on promoting Healthy Living and ways to improve your mental and physical health. For a young person with SEND aged 14 – 25, positive mental and physical health is important so the event helped to demonstrate this and encourage the building of relationships amongst young people as well as providers
The Healthy Living Event featured great presentations on preparing a healthy meal (BeeZee Familiies/Maximus) having and maintaining a healthy wellbeing (Wellbeing and Emotional Support Team) and taking part in physical activity (Disabled Sports Coach)
We now have a video recording of the event so you can watch this at your own leisure. Please see the link to the playlist on Youtube below. The event has been recorded in 3 segments.
If you are interested in supporting or know a young person aged 14-25 with SEND who wants to offer their opinion or participation regarding the Brent Youth Forum please get in contact with Natalie Bissah; Natalie.Bissah@brent.gov.uk and 07920834819
