You can become a Shout Out Rep if you:

• want Buckinghamshire Council to hear your voice
• are aged 12 to 25 and have a special educational need or disability

Our groups are once a month, on a Monday from 5:30pm to 7pm. The sessions are held in High Wycombe or Aylesbury and food is provided.

We run two groups monthly:

Shout Out Reps get involved in lots of exciting projects including:

• Planned conferences such as the Shout Out for SEND yearly conference, where reps take part in different activities on lots of different topics.
• Youth interview panels, where reps help interview people who are applying for roles to support them and their peers.
• Writing Plans such as the Autism Strategy, which helps others to learn how to make Buckinghamshire better for those with SEND.

Our annual conference for young people is a day of creative and fun activities.

You also get a chance to talk to senior people at Buckinghamshire Council. They can help to make sure that your voice is heard.

Take a look at the November 2023 conference report.

Our team visits schools and colleges across Buckinghamshire to hear your views.

It's a great way to make sure your voice is heard while you are still studying.
