Description
The Whiteboard Project Video is a short animation video that uses the voices of children and young people known to Barnet YOS, to describe the YOS, their Orders, corresponding support and expectations.
The video is a co-production project for children and young people involved with the YOS, which enabled them to take a central place in the creative process of developing a video that explains to others their experiences and engagement with YOS professionals.
This video is meant to be a resource for children entering the service for the first time so they may understand what is expected in a child-friendly way.

Implementing the practice:
- The children involved in the project shared their honest views in order to provide others with a relatable account of their experiences.
- The children developed the video narrative in their own language using their own voices and working with an illustrator, created the images and story flow for the video.
- The avatars were drawn by the young people to represent the different characters of the children speaking.
- The hours spent on working on this project were counted as reparation hours to acknowledge the contribution they made on this project and the potential benefit to others.
- The project cost £2,500 to create.
