Hosted by NCB, the Look Listen Change consortium includes the British Youth Council (BYC),KIDS, the National Centre for Excellence in Residential Child Care (NCERCC) and the Council for Disabled Children (CDC). The consortium works with local organisations across England to give disadvantaged and marginalised young people greater influence over services in their areas through the Youth4U – Young Inspectors programme.
The purpose of the Youth4U - Young Inspectors Programme is to:
* Increase the numbers and quality of opportunities for marginalised young people to influence services;
* Help marginalised young people to engage their peers in influencing local policies and services across a wide range of issues including locality, health, neighbourhood renewal, transport and community service; and
* Enable young people to feedback both their and the views of their peers to local authorities and other service providers.
The programme will support adult support workers in local organisations to recruit, train and support young people to investigate and assess how local services are doing and help them to improve things where they could be better. The young people will be given the opportunity to achieve an
accreditation through the programme.
To be eligible young people have to be 13-19 years old or up to 25 if they have disabilities and/or learning difficulties.
