Need advice on engaging young people?
Valuing young people's input requires thoughtful and meaningful engagement. Without the right knowledge and expertise, it can be easy to plan a consultation approach that overlooks young people’s unique needs, resulting in feedback that may not accurately reflect the perspectives of all age groups in our community.
The Youth and Family Services team can help you plan and create effective consultations. Here’s how we can support you:
- Advice on best practice youth engagement to support your planning.
- Promotion to young people through our Youth Squad e-Newsletter (1,000+ subscribers), Instagram, Facebook (5,000+ followers) and other networks.
- Co-delivering youth-specific consultations for your projects.
- Youth Engagement 101 training - A one hour workshop on youth engagement best practice, which we can tailor to the needs of your team.
Contact Aishling Fagan to discuss your consultation plans/requests for assistance. Please note, planning requires lead time, so early coordination is essential.
