I will be meeting each young people for twelve weekly sessions, once per week. This can either in person in school, on zoom, or in person at an outside location (a cafe or coffee shop for example). During these sessions we will be working on and talking about any issues they may be having. I will be taking notes and keeping a record of what is going on and any concerns. I have had training in safeguarding and overall my role is to keep these young people safe and help them in anyway that I can. ]]> 2020-12-15 20:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/elliehadnum/ntwt45v2p3c60b5r/wish/1021906368 What is it? elliehadnum https://padlet.com/elliehadnum/ntwt45v2p3c60b5r/wish/1021930726 Groundwork East is a branch of a charity called Groundwork, founded in 1985 they now provide a range of different services, including but not limited to; community service, environmental sustainability information and supporting young people.

I believe that if I had this kind of support when I was in my teenage years that I would have had a vastly different and more positive experience. My goal is that by mentoring young people I will help them to thrive and leave a positive impact on them.

 I am also very interested in working with children and young people in my future career so this will give me some experience and help me get my foot in the door. ]]> 2020-12-15 21:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elliehadnum/ntwt45v2p3c60b5r/wish/1021950046
