Young Person's Involvement Officer
SSENDIAS have recently appointed a Young Person's Involvement officer, Hazey Wareham. Hazey will be working with young people from Y11 into post 16 and to Preparation for adulthood. The role is to ensure the young people’s wishes, feelings and aspirations are heard throughout all decisions made about their education and future. Parents will also be encouraged to ensure their voice is heard alongside their young persons. If a young person needs support to do this Hazey will advocate for them.
Look out for her at Post 16 events across the city next year!
