WHO'S WHO ACROSS ABERDEENSHIRE?

Go to community  to see how our community is building.  

Let us introduce you to all those who are helping young people across Aberdeenshire, young people themselves as well as some of the adults who are responsible for looking after the well-being of young people and helping to keep them safe.  

Go to our community page, have a look at who is here and the things they do and can do to help.

 

MUCH MORE TO COME!

Here, we are building, managing and maintaining a unique searchable space that will give you information and sources of support across a range of topics.  It is all about looking after your wellbeing as a young person in Aberdeenshire..

This platform is also a place for young people to voice their opinions, views and ideas.  If that is you, we want to hear about your life, your aspirations and how we can support you.  We will treat all information shared with us anonymously unless stated differently, and, where appropriate. permissions have been given.

There will be opportunities for posts and features to be interactive and linked to social media.  Watch out for up coming events and surveys you can take part in. 

It is our hope that we will have a care experienced young person as part of the “behind the scenes” team, to help us develop this platform further and help influence and lead its direction. 

 

Watch this space!

Thank you, 

Emma Allen and the Corporate Parenting Leads Group of Aberdeenshire.
