A briefing has been launched by the National Youth Agency (NYA) on behalf of the Local Government Association that highlights innovative practice of local authorities working with young people to effect positive change.
What's Changed for Children and Young People - Working in Partnership with Local Authorities has been developed as part of the National Youth Agency's ongoing work with the Local Government Association, supported by top-sliced funding for local authorities.
The free document, available from the National Youth Agency website, includes stories of positive change for the young people directly involved and also changes for the wider locality, strengthening community cohesion and council service provision.
Peta Halls, National Youth Agency development officer, said: "We know that children and young people's participation directly benefits councils by ensuring services are appropriate, cost-effective and deliver maximum opportunities for children and young people themselves. It is hoped this briefing will inspire others to develop their own stories and make the case for embedding the recognised participation practices onto youth provision planning."
