Join Oxfordshire's new Sounding Board

Oxfordshire Sounding Board

What do they do?

The Sounding Board is a forum where children and young people can speak directly to the County Councillor for Children and Young People, The Director of Children, Young People and Family Services, senior people in the County Council and key people working in the areas being discussed by the Sounding Board. The goal is to improve services for children and young people in Oxfordshire.

Our target age group is age 7 to 21, from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds in Oxfordshire. The Sounding Board includes children and young people with disabilities and those who don’t often get the chance to have their voice heard and taken seriously.

The lead people feed back to the Sounding Board at every session on what has been done since they last met.

About the role

If you join the Sounding Board you will meet 8 times a year, four times with leaders and four times just with children and young people to plan the meetings. We also have an away day for new members and a trip at the end of your membership. Membership normally lasts one to two years.

Travel

We provide transport, hold safe and sound meetings and always provide food and FUN.

Payment

The Sounding Board is voluntary.
