We are pleased to announce that young people across the UK will continue to have their say on the issues that matter most to them, following the announcement that the Government has appointed the NYA as the new body to run the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) for 2024/25. ➡️Learn more about UKYP: nya.org.uk/government-sec… #YouthVoice #UKYP #UKYPHoC

Children are passionate about making change - but only 1 in 5 feel like those in power listen. I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/one-milli…

Really sad about this. Young voices silenced means a poorer society for us all :(

A big thank you to Essex Youth Justice Service for running some brilliant training for our groups on Tuesday night about how to use restorative approaches in youth work 😊 it was great!

This year our groups listened to over 1500 y.p around views of how safe they feel in Essex. A massive part of good listening is responding(!) and pictured is a sneaky peek at our response to last years work. So much positive change thanks to these honest views 💕 @essexvvu

What a great youth conference! Young peoples voices are so important for implementing positive change. Thank you to everyone who made today possible 🙂🥳
