How to gain permission/clearance to use social media within your practice?
Gaining permission to utilising social media to engage with young people online can be a challenge as ‘some’ organisations and managers are resistant due to lack of knowledge or experience of social media. Also as it’s such a new methodology to engage with young people funds may have not been allocated in current annual budgets to invest in exploring the potential and p… Continue

- well I could never turn down the offer of coffee! - looks like I'll be down here at least until the end of November so maybe mid Nov? Thurs & Fridays are best as other days I have my youngest tagging along - anytime between 10am - 2pm is good. Only date I can't do is the 6th so if any others fit with you let me know. Prob best to do later in the month to see if ideas develop for Tims mentoring programme suggestion so can have something good to chat about.

- lol Hi Katie - you could say I'm linked to YoMo Training ;-) I'll pass on your comments to Kirsty she'll appreciate them - especially the 'kick arse' bit! :-)
I'm living down in Devon at the moment too - which at last does seem recently to be 'sunny Devon!'. Won't be here for too much longer though as currently looking for somewhere to live up in Oxfordshire.

Looks like I won't be able to make the 25/26th now. Maybe we can organise some time to meet up otherwise?

- HI Katie
Thanks for the message. I've also been off and sick so everything has been at a bit of a standstill for the moment. Yes I'm heading up to London for the 26th. I can't make the 27th unfortunately but will be up for the conference and then the NYA launch (once I get it sorted.) We've got some groups that are already running facebook etc but today we highlighted the need for guidelines etc. If there's time on the 26th to chat it would be great (I'm assuming you're there) or if you have any that you've put together that we could look at before then it would be really helpful.
Thanks
Hilary

- Hi Katie
Would love to talk more as I was just discussing Devon's work with Carole Aspden, our PYO today. We're also looking at the same type of forums across West Sussex.
