Children & Young People
The Gloucestershire VCS Assembly facilitates partnership working between voluntary and community organisations working with children and young people, providing an arena for discussion and mechanism for influencing county mulit-sector partnerships.
At present, this project is focusing on the following key areas:
Information, discussion and networking
The project sends out regular electronic bulletins to hundreds of VCS groups in the county, has started an electronic forum and holds many meetings and events to faciliate information and discussion on relevant issues within the sector and with public sector partners.
Democratic forum
The project brings interested VCOs together for VCS Children and Young People's Strategy Group and related meetings, which provide a democratic forum for collating VCS views, communicating them to VCS representatives who sit on the county's partnerships and discussing their feedback.
Support of VCS representatives
VCS representatives agreed by the VCS are supported by the project to participate in multi-sector partnerships and feed back to the VCS.
