  • Jodie designed tools for a variety of settings that enabled young people to have their say about their rights, in a way that was safe, age appropriate and engaging. These tools were pivotal to the success of our legislated review of the Charter of Rights for Children and Young People in Care. Jodie’s energetic and open nature became really evident when she conducted a workshop for 12 young people in residential care. The young people responded well to Jodie's enthusiasm and determination to have their voices heard.
