an informal, interactive session. Parent/Carers are key
to this meeting.This event is usually followed, on the day,
by viewing some of the work of clients in practice. The
main stakeholders, PASTEL clients, will be in a parallel
workshop, but their inputs are usually quarterly through
the PASTEL Client Panel. Outputs from the meetings are then
go into an action plan, which is reported back on as it
is implemented.

- Stakeholder Workshop held (24/11/07) with representatives
from parent/carers, tutors and senior officers from Suffolk
County Council. Although a great deal of formal feedback
had already been gained earlier in the year through the
PASTEL Client Panel and parent/carer surveys, this was an
opportunity to meet in an informal setting and receive a
summary of achievemnts through the year and plans for next
year and to hold a group discussion. A few new queries and
suggestions for further volunteer/mentor involvement were
noted, to be followed up. After the discussion, attendees
had the opportunity to observe the client workshop in action.
The clients put on a drama/dance/mime performance with a
basketball theme and age-appropriate rap music for backing.
The audience reaction was extremely positive - "fantastic!"
- and clients were glowing with the praise!
- PASTEL exhibited at, and participated in, the Suffolk
Coastal Local Strategic Partnership forum (2/11/07).
