Young people's workshops - July 2022
Are you aged 11 - 17 and a Barnet resident? If so, share your opinions to help improve services for young people and receive a £30 shopping voucher!
Barnet Council wants to know how young people feel about their local area to help develop its new plan for improving the lives of young people. Over 500 young people across the borough have already voiced their views (via a survey conducted late 2021/early 2022) on topics such as safety, schooling, and wellbeing.
We are now running group discussions in July 2022 to better understand young people’s experiences and we’re keen to involve a wide range of young people. Even if you have never participated in similar sessions or have little interest in them, we welcome your input. And remember, participants will get a £30 online shopping voucher as an appreciation of their time.
When are sessions taking place?
Group discussions will be held in mid-July at different locations in the borough, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, to ensure diverse communities are represented. Participants will be allocated to sessions based on the constituency they live in, for example, Edgware residents would attend the Hendon constituency session. Venue locations will be confirmed nearer the time, see details below:
Constituency | Date | Location |
Hendon | 12 July 2022 | Barnet Council Office, 2 Bristol Avenue |
Finchley and Golders Green | 13 July 2022 | Finchley Church End Library 318 Regents Park Road, |
Chipping Barnet | 14 July 2022 | Chipping Barnet Library, 3 Stapylton Road, |
How to register for a session
If you are aged 11 - 17 years and want to get involved, please ask your parent, carer or guardian to complete the consent section on the registration form below. Once they have completed the consent form your parent, carer or guardian can then pass to you to complete some further questions.
Please complete the registration form by Sunday 3 July 2022. If you would like to request a paper registration form, need help to complete the form or more information, please email consultation@barnet.gov.uk.
How will participants be selected?
We will use the information you give us to ensure that different communities are represented at these group discussions. If you are allocated a place, we will contact you by Monday 4 July and will provide you with further details of the workshop you have been allocated to.
If we are oversubscribed for the workshops and you don’t get a place on this occasion, we will direct you to other opportunities to voice your views.
What happens after the engagement closes?
We will use the engagement findings to inform the development of our new Children and Young People’s Plan. We will publish the results of the engagement and how we are acting on the results on this web page in September 2022.
