Shout Out Reps
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.
Annual conference for young people
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.
Activity days
Activity Days are held during school holidays and are open to young people with SEND who participate in our Big Debate or Active Reps groups.
It's a chance to:
- try a new activity
- meet new people
- share your views and opinions
School and college groups
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.
