The National Youth Agency (NYA) is reviewing its participation strategy and would welcome your views through an online survey they are conducting.
The purpose of the overall review is to reflect on the role and contribution made to date by the NYA and to inform the direction of their future work and, in particular, how the NYA can most effectively contribute to the growing and increasingly complex pattern of youth participation.
By participation NYA mean where organisations effectively involve children and young people in the development, delivery and evaluation of services that affect their lives.
The NYA has been a key contributor to supporting young people’s participation, since its establishment, but particularly over the last decade. It has done this through active partnership with other organisations and by developing a range of resources and tools including ‘Hear by Right’ and ‘Act by Right’, and by seeking to capture evidence of the changes which have taken place at local level as a result of young people’s participation.
The purpose of this review therefore is to reflect on practice to date and propose a new or refreshed set of products which will enable the NYA to continue to contribute in a way that responds to demand, that complements and adds value to the work of others and which helps create positive change for young people in their lives.
The NYA would appreciate your thoughts and comments to help develop current and new approaches to participation.
