BEING ABLE TO JOIN IN (making a positive contribution)

A group of 5 - 11 year olds at Young Asian Voices have worked together to come up with a list of things which explains what 'Making a Positive Contribution' means.  Read the list and see if you agree

• Do good things, be good for people, support your community
• Work hard, do well at your SATs
• Help others when needed
• Stay healthy
• Care for your family
• Be kind and polite
• Have good manners
• Be respectful
• Do not kill, no stealing
• Be sensible, be strong, be well behaved, be proud, be honest
• Be fab, don’t fight, don’t bully
• Having a job

But not all children in Sunderland are able to join in

• some children aren't asked what they think about important decisions
• some children get into trouble and break the law

To make things better Sunderland Children's Trust will

• get more children to have a say in things which are important in their lives
• help children and young people to stay out of trouble and not break the law
