| | Dear Friend,
As a subscriber to Staf’s regular newsletter, I am sure you will have been following the progress of our Youth Justice Voices project, a partnership with the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice.
We’re getting in touch to pass on the third edition of the 'Youth Justice Voices' newsletter for care and justice experienced young people in Scotland and created by the young people of Youth Just Us! The group has worked really hard to make this so please pass it on to any young people that would be interested.
In this edition we take a look at the work of our Youth Justice Visionaries who were commissioned by the Scottish Government to consult their peers, share our reflections on issues like Universal Basic Income, and ask the question of how we can teach young people to be happy, plus so much more.
We've also created a version that can be professionally printed. If you are a worker and are looking for multiple hard copies for young people you can also get in touch with ruth@staf.scot.

| | Participation Practitioners’ Forum | Thursday 3 December 2020 | Zoom | Free
The participation practitioners' forum is a free bi-monthly event for participation workers supporting young people with care and justice experience to connect with, and learn from, each other: sharing successes, reflecting on challenges, and championing examples of best practice in an informal setting.
The forum was set up in response to restrictions on physical meetings and gatherings - as those delivering participation work across the country have had to rapidly and creatively adapt their approach, and we have been connecting with monthly Zoom calls. The forum has a particular focus on engaging workers that support care-experienced young people in the justice system, and on utilising digital tools to creatively support young people.
