We want to hear from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Potential Plus UK has partnered with Good Innovation to complete a deep dive into finding out what services young people with high learning potential or dual or multiple exceptionality would like to have available to them. The crucial part of this work is talking to young people themselves! There are a variety of ways you can impact and influence this important research.<\/p>\n

1) Take part in one or two of our interactive workshops taking place next year (information below). This is a chance to really get stuck into some brainstorming, co-creation and have your voice heard (loudly or quietly!) directly.
\n2) In the new year, a survey will be circulated for young people to complete to let us know your thoughts.
\n3) At any point between now and March 2024, we are happy to receive the views and ideas of young people directly, in whatever format suits you. Send an email, a letter, a video – whatever suits you – to olivia.smith@potentialplusuk.org<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”4″ el_width=”40″ accent_color=”#35b2e0″][vc_custom_heading text=”Workshops Information” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:16|text_align:center|color:%23575756″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”4″ el_width=”40″ accent_color=”#35b2e0″][vc_column_text]Who Can Take Part?: <\/strong>All young people aged13+ who identify as having high learning potential or dual or multiple exceptionality.
