About us

Angel
As a youth worker, I make sure that your thoughts, feeling, and opinions are heard and that you get a chance to be part of improving services and support for all children and young people. I want to make sure that as many children and young people as possible feel cared for, supported, and empowered throughout their lives and journeys. I run fun day trips out and group activities.
I love listening to music and drinking iced coffee!

Sam
My role is leading on our Shout Out for SEND programme. It’s my job to make sure that all young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are heard at the council, and I love my job! In Shout Out for SEND we run monthly groups for all young people (aged 12 to 25) with SEND, so if you’re interested in having your voice heard please reach out to me!
In my spare time, my favourite things to do are playing sports, travelling and watching stand-up comedy.

Shayan
I oversee the Youth Voice Executive Committee and the Councillor Shadowing Scheme. My job is to ensure that Young People’s voices are being heard and acted upon. I always aim to create a sense of belonging whilst facilitating a safe, inclusive environment and fostering diversity. I am also in charge of the Youth Summit, a great event that happens every year! In my spare time, I love travelling, doing creative activities and am currently learning Japanese. I am always happy to listen so please come to me!

Krissie 
I manage the Youth Voice Bucks programme and look after our team – I’m pretty sure I have the best job in the world!
My role is all about making sure our projects for young people are as fun and effective as they can be, and that we work collaboratively to help as many professionals as possible to listen, act on, and really respond to young people’s views. 
I have an awesome rescue dog called Honey and I love playing Roller Derby – a super intense sport on roller skates!  

Kirstie 
With Krissie currently on maternity leave, I have taken on the responsibility for managing the Youth Voice Bucks programme and supporting our team. I absolutely love working alongside both our passionate youth workers and inspiring groups of brilliant young people.
My role is all about championing young people’s voices and making sure they are genuinely heard, not just collected. I work closely with professionals across the organisation to help them listen, act on and respond to what young people are telling us, so our projects are shaped by the people they are actually for!
Outside of work, I am usually out with my (very energetic) spaniel Herbie, or curled up with a good book!  

Felicity (Flic)  
In my role as a Youth Participation Officer, I contribute to the planning and delivery of all our three participation groups. As part of my role, I run our Shout Out for SEND Young Inspectors programme. Here, young people can be heard to help improve how accessible activities are across Buckinghamshire. I am a huge animal lover and have a pet cat called Capri 🐾 I am also a very active person and enjoy getting out and about but not so much in the rain. When inside, I love tea and biscuits ☕🍪 and will have at least 10 cups of tea a day.

Rule 1

We will not ask you to do something we would not do ourselves. 

Rule 2

When we ask you to help develop services, we give you tools and skills to make sure you can do so to the best of your ability.

Rule 3

We only engage with you when we have a clear plan about how we will listen to you, act on what you have told us, and then tell you what difference you have made.
