YOUNG MEN'S HEALTH FORUM //
SYDNEY NORTH 2020
OUR EVENT //
NOTE: In light of The Federal Government advising against attending large events and The Department of Education requesting to cancel school excursions we have made the decision to cancel The Young Men’s Health Forum on Friday, 22nd of May at The Concourse. Whilst this is very unfortunate, we all have a responsibility to each other, and our community adhere to social distancing measures.

ATTENDEES
MAXIMUM ATTENDEES //
Schools are encouraged to select students that would benefit most from the forum. Schools may send a maximum of 20 students and 2 accompanying teachers to attend the forum. Please see Student Guidelines below to assist when choosing students. STUDENT HEALTH CONDITIONS // Attending teachers are required to ensure that students with health conditions carry with them the appropriate medical tools (e.g. an inhaler if asthmatic) and Conviction Group is notified prior to the event. STUDENT NAME CHANGES // Whilst a school confirms the number of students attending at the start of the registration process, changes to the attendee details can be made up until Friday, 15th of May close of business. FEEDBACK QUESTIONNAIRES
During the forum, students will be asked to complete an online anonymous questionnaire about the topics discussed on the day, as well as an online forum feedback form. If they have access to one, we kindly ask students to bring a mobile device with internet connectivity to complete these questionnaires. This information will allow Conviction Group to better understand the knowledge young men have regarding various topics and will help improve future programs. All collated and anonymised data will be reviewed by Conviction Group in partnership with our research partner, Western Sydney University. The review process will be in accordance with WSU practices and policies and may be used on print, electronic and/or social media platforms.
