Telling the story

Children and young people were asked to think about an imaginary child or young person who had need of additional health services.

The person was drawn in the 'Consequence' game style - with each participant who could drawing a part of the person. The person was then put in the centre of a circle which was made up of stickers and decorative paper.

Each group was asked tell the story of this child/young person in three stages: 

All about the child/young person themselves

About the child/young person's family

About the child/young person's wider world

At each stage they were asked to think about things that were good for the child/young person, things that made life more difficult for them and then to think about what things would make things better for them.
