Mind Of My Own’s goal is to empower all young people the opportunity to have their voices heard. According to Scotland’s Care Review ‘The Promise’ “Services must be easy to access and must always try harder and be more creative in their listening”

Joanne, a social worker from Nottinghamshire, shares with us how she uses Express to get to know and support non-verbal young people.

A year ago we started to think about our users, exploring ways we could use the apps to make young people feel safer and more included.

Things we have no control of find us at the peak of frustration, such as the weather (when it doesn’t suit us), transport delays, having too much or too little time.

We love that the voices of children and young people are present in the way we build our apps.

Welcome to our blog dyad - a two hander from Jill Thorburn about the ways young children can have a voice with Mind Of My Own.
