This page has been set up to keep you in the loop with what's going on in the Youth Council and across County Durham. You told us you want social media to be a more positive place for Young People. We agree, so let's try to keep this a positive space, it's ok if you don't agree with something, you're entitled to an opinion, but it might not be the same as someone else's. You also told us that othe
r social media pages from Durham County Council didn't meet your needs, or cater for you, we shared that with the decision makers at DCC, and they've listened to you, they've given us this page for you. So, tell us what you'd like to see on here! There are a few things we're asking you to do, if we all do these LITTLE things, we can make a BIG difference;
Keep it clean and PG friendly, we've got younger young people accessing this page, let's keep the language appropriate. Be respectful, you respect us, we'll respect you. It's alright to disagree, it's alright to say you disagree, but go about it the right way. Check in with us, the more you view, the more you follow and the more you share, the further this message will go! We want to create an army, an unstoppable force of proactive, respected, amazing Young People, let's show people that this negative stereotype of Young People isn't accurate, it's the minority not the majority! Young People should be SEEN and HEARD! If you show yourselves up, cross the line and say something that's too inappropriate, offensive or disrespectful, then we'll have to do something about it, that might be removing your comment, giving you a polite warning or banning you from the page. Remember, there are loads of ways you can get involved, you could just check in, you could join the emailing list for updates, you can help share and get our messages out there, you can get involved in discussions, polls, consultation, you could make suggestions, share your thoughts and ideas, you could join the youth council? Any questions, drop us a line! Stand Up! Speak Out! Be Heard! DYC
