Are you starting secondary school? Do you have type 1 diabetes? Then join our online session for Year 8 pupils and parents, where young leaders will share their experiences and top tips, as well as a workshop on dealing with anxiety.

This can be a challenging time for young people without having to consider how you might manage your diabetes so join us for this zoom – learn about managing anxiety, hear from our volunteers and connect with people from this community.

Arabic Speaking Parents Experiences of Education System in NI
The Parent Participation Service recognizes the importance of designing services with parents using their voice and the skills of practitioners together to improve services. We understand the vital role that parents have in creating improved outcomes for children and families. We are here to support parents to influence the activities of the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership (CYPSP) and to support service providers to develop and improve co-production practice with parents.
We facilitated an informative direct participation event with Arabic speaking
parents from the N.I. Family Muslim Association exploring their experiences of the
education system in NI. See infographic below of the keypoints that were captured that will be shared with Outcomes Groups for inclusion in future planning.
