Justuz Children in Care council’s WAR AGAINST WORDS

Our children have set us a new challenge; they would like us to stop talking to them in social work language and speak to them like you would speak to your own children and family.

They know this is going to be a real challenge for us all!

So to help get us started they have asked us to ban some six key words and phrases that we tend to use a lot and use normal every day words to describe them instead.

THE WORDS ARE….

The Takeover Challenge 2017 

Would you like to Take Over for the Day! Lots of senior management jobs up for grabs and you get to make all the decisions!  Why don't you get involved and give it a go!

The aim of the Challenge is to develop young peoples involvement in organisations' work for an whole day - taking over the jobs of staff members within Blackpool Council. The more children and young people are involved in an organisations' work, the more successful their Takeover Challenge will be.

The Takeover Challenge is all about recognising children and young people's hard work; so it doesn't have to stop after a single day. If you help design a project or work on something which may take a while to finish - you could be invited back to be involved in the future.

Takeover Day happens every November but we will update this space once we have a confirmed date.

If you are a young person who likes to get involved, why not give it a go !
