About us
People’s Voice Media is committed to supporting people to improve their lives and bring about positive social change from the ground up. PVM was founded in 1995 and now works across the UK and Europe in the areas of health and social care, housing, education, research, and anywhere else where people need to share their stories. We developed the Community Reporter methodology in 2007 and this has now transformed into the Institute of Community Reporters, which was established in 2012. Reporters are people who tell their own stories and gather the stories of other people around them to use lived experience to create change in their communities, organisations and wider society. All Community Reporters are trained in Responsible Storytelling practices as a core part of the methodology, as well as other areas such as storytelling techniques and digital/media literacies.

In light of the recent racist thuggery we have seen on our streets we feel it's even more important for us to share a free educational resource that was produced as part of a recent project we did. The project is called HOME? Heritage project and focuses on the experiences of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who have settled in the UK. This educational toolkit is aimed to be used in the community, in schools, youth clubs, community groups etc, to sow the seeds of empathy, compassion and grow communities of sanctuary. The activities are simple, easy to use and adapt to different ages and groups. To start, or to continue to make positive change in your school, youth club or community group, act now and download it here https://buff.ly/3XyDG58 Hard copies are available as well - please email kath@peoplesvoicemedia.co.uk to receive one.

Today we’re in Stratford attending the 3rd & final Learning Festival, as part of the Not Another Co-Production Project. So far we’ve shared some delicious food together and now the learning & sharing begins. Newham Community Researchers are kicking things off with their Recipe for Co-Production. We’re so excited for what the rest of the day has to bring.

Child & Adolescent Anxiety, Neurodevelopment Educator | Founder, Hey Sigmund | Speaker | Author 'Hey Warrior'
School ‘refusal’ (as in anxiety driven school avoidance, not wilful intent) is escalating. Something that’s troubling me is the use of the word ‘school can’t’ when talking about kids. Stay with me. First, let’s be clear: school avoidance isn’t about won’t. It’s about can’t. Not truly can’t but felt can’t. It’s about anxiety making school feel so unsafe for a child, avoidance feels like the only option. Here’s the problem. Language is powerful, and when we put ‘can’t’ onto a child, it tells a deficiency story about the child. But school ‘refusal’ isn’t about the child. It’s about the environment not feeling safe enough right now, or separation from a parent not feeling safe enough right now. The ‘can’t’ isn’t about the child. It’s about an environment that can’t support the need for felt safety - yet. This can happen in even the most loving, supportive schools. All schools are full of anxiety triggers. They need to be because anything new, hard, brave, growthful will always come with potential threats - maybe failure, judgement, shame. Even if these are so unlikely, the brain won’t care. All it will read is ‘danger’. Of course sometimes school actually isn’t safe. Maybe peer relationships are tricky. Maybe teachers are shouty and still using outdated ways to manage behaviour. Maybe sensory needs aren’t met. Most of the time though it’s not actual threat but ’felt threat’. The deficiency isn’t with the child. It’s with the environment. The question isn’t how do we get rid of their anxiety. It’s how do we make the environment feel safe enough so they can feel supported enough to handle the discomfort of their anxiety. We can throw all the resources we want at the child, but: - if the parent doesn’t believe the child is safe enough, cared for enough, capable enough; or - if school can’t provide enough felt safety for the child (sensory accommodations, safe peer relationships, at least one predictable adult the child feels safe with and cared for by), that child will not feel safe enough. To help kids feel safe and happy at school, we have to recognise that it’s the environment that needs changing, not the child. This doesn’t mean the environment is wrong. It’s about making it feel more right for this child.♥️

We're training a group of Community Reporters as part of the TLAP Home Care Stories project to shine a light on people's experiences with home care services. Reporters will work with those receiving CQC registered home care services to explore what makes these services work well & not so well through lived experience storytelling. These stories will be curated and packaged into a set of extracts that will help to shape future home care services.
