Whilst looking for ways to consult with Children and Young People I came across the ‘Young Advisors’. The Young Advisors are aged between 15 and 21; they show community leaders and decision makers how to engage young people in community life, regeneration and renewal.
There are various groups around the country, in the North West there are 3 set up – Knowlsey, Sefton and Wirral. Having looked at their websites I am keen to work with the Young Advisors, getting their opinions on the work that we are doing and getting a different insight in the projects. They offer various services from ‘youth proofing’ documents to consultation events with young people.
I believe that using the Young Advisors to engage with the CYP we are working with and learning from them how to set up a Youth Advisory Panel would be an invaluable experience; getting real opinions from real people.
