Young Inspectors

Hosted by NCB, the Look Listen Change partnership includes the British Youth Council (BYC), KIDS, NCB Residential Child Care (NCBRCC) and the Council for Disabled Children (CDC).

The partnership 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 programme is to:

• Enable young people to become more socially responsible, by supporting them in coming together to improve their communities;

• Increase the numbers and quality of opportunities for marginalised young people and give them the opportunity to improve services and enable change in their communities;

• 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 in the benefit of their neighbourhoods; and

• Enable young people to have much greater impact on local services by feeding back both their and the views of their peers.

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 are disabled and/or have learning difficulties.
