For young people Youth Voice Youth Participation Strategy Creative Youth Network aims to make sure young people can express themselves and be heard, so that they can influence the decisions that affect them, within our organisation and wider society. Find out how we ensure young people are at the heart of our decision making. Our Hear by Right We’re absolutely delighted to have been awarded Flagship status by the NYA for their Hear by Right organisational development framework. We’ve been working with a group of young people over 18 months who have helped evaluate our commitment to youth participation within our organisation. The National Youth Agency have given us the stamp of approval for embedding "excellent youth participation practices" in all our operations across the three key strands: Youth voice and influence – young people are provided with a safe space to share their experiences and influence strategy, policies and operational delivery Youth advocacy – young people are enabled to have a voice and to influence the issues which are important to them, be that social change or decisions about their own lives Youth governance – young people are empowered to make decisions and take action, and are given opportunities to develop their leadership skills. It is very clear that young people feel valued and heard. Your dedication to driving positive change and creating a more inclusive and equitable society for young people is one to be cherished.
