Before the end of the day’s discussions, the focus group comprising secondary level students
were able to correctly recall the Child Helpline number.
Feedback
All children who attended the discussions said they
were happy at having been given the opportunity to
participate in such a forum.
Before they left, as a final task, they were asked to
provide one-word descriptions of how they felt
about taking part in the discussions. They were
provided with various coloured pieces of paper on
which to do so. These pieces of paper were then
pasted onto a flip-chart so all attendees could see
what others thought of the day’s activities and
discussions.
