CIRCY is committed to communicating its work to the public and engaging members of the public in shaping its work. We do this through blogging, consultations and advisory groups.
Blog
As part of CIRCY's communication strategy we have set up a blog to keep you informed of what we are up to. You can follow our news, views, research and innovation at https://circyatsussex.wordpress.comFrom time to time we will invite guest contributors to our blog who will comment of themes relating to CIRCY's research themes. If you are working in these areas and are interested in writing a short post for the CIRCY blog, please contact Dr Sevasti-Melissa Nolas:

Consultations
CIRCY members respond to government consultations on policy issues which are relevant to children, young people and families. We run our own consultation and public engagement activities as necessary. Relevant announcements will be promoted here in due course.
Advisory groups
The CIRCY Advisory Group consists of academic and practice colleagues, as well as children and young people. We also have a strong relationship with the Department of Social Work and Social Care's Service User and Carer Network which has been involved in departmental teaching and governance for a number of years.
