Resource Hub

Me first has been developed in partnership with health and social care professionals and children and young people. We want to collect and grow a hub of resources to share ideas and expertise in communicating with children and young people. The resource hub aims to promote peer to peer learning and contains resources that health and social care professionals have told us they have found helpful in their practice.

We welcome you to submit resources to our page via our email address [email protected]
