SpeakOut @Headstart Kent

SpeakOut @Headstart Kent allows young people involved with HeadStart Kent to come together to support the co-production of the programme.

Young people are given the opportunity to lead on aspects including the:

• MoodSpark website development
• evaluation of aspects of the programme and Pay it Forward grant scheme
• participation of the recruitment and commissioning of the programme.

Staff regularly join the group to get feedback, share information and consult about the programme.  Attendees can include:

• Evaluations Officer
• Marketing and Communications Officer
• Data Team
• Senior Managers.

Regular district meetings with young people are available to support local co-production. Feedback from the meetings is then fed into our central SpeakOut @HeadStart group. Any young person attending the local groups can then have the opportunity to join our central group.

For more information on getting involved with Speakout @Headstart or for more information please email Hannah Patton Hannah.patton@kent.gov.uk.
