1. Aim and Background

 
AIM

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 our future work and, in particular, how the NYA can most effectively contribute to the growing and increasingly complex pattern of youth participation.

By participation we mean where organisations effectively involve children and young people in the development, delivery and evaluation of services that affect their lives and this leads to change.

BACKGROUND

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.

We remain very committed to this important area of work. 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.

We would appreciate your thoughts and comments to help develop current and new approaches to participation.

The survey is anonymous but it would be useful for a researcher to follow up areas raised. If you are willing to be approached by a researcher please fill in details at the end of the questionnaire.
