A short video will also be played. Minutes: The Board received a presentation from Bernadette Killeen, Youth Development Worker on the recent Safeguarding Summit on the Emotional Health and Wellbeing of the City’s pupils. A short video from a series of videos made by the Young Peoples Council called ‘How You Hear Me’ highlighting depression in young people was played at the meeting.
It was noted that:-
The Board were then shown one of the video’s which told the story of a young person experiencing depression as a result of a family member suffering life threating injuries. It was felt that the video portrayed a powerful story about the young person’s ability to cope and also not cope with the situation he faced. It demonstrated the resilience of young people to cope with stressful situations, when often their coping strategy becomes depleted and also their ability to articulate that to a system that are working to help them.
The Board also received feedback on a recent Safeguarding Summit held on the City which had been commissioned by the Leicester Safeguarding Children’s Board. (LSCB)

Emotional health was at the centre of the service and those using the service were reviewed at regular intervals. · There had been a number of public health campaigns and the service also offered an interactive phone service, a website for teenagers to chat about issues affecting them (including a parents section) and virtual clinics.

DISCUSSION AND NEXT STEPS The Chair to lead a discussion session on the next steps forward. Minutes: The Chair thanked everyone that had made presentations and felt that these had proved that engaging young people in participation work was not simply a ’tick-box’ exercise in the City. He suggested that Members should reflect on the presentations and ensure that examples of good practice were shared widely and there were good opportunities for all partner organisations to benefit from them. Although there were many examples of good practice; there were still some ‘blockers’ within the system, some of internal constructs and some from wider determinants.
The Chair felt that the themed session had been extremely valuable and he asked that the Youth Development Worker share the write up from the ‘graffiti wall’ and post–it notes collected as part of the Children and Young People’s Safeguarding Summit on Emotional Wellbeing with the Director of Public Heath so that they considered in the review of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
