Survey: Help shape the future of the youth sector

We're currently upgrading two key resources for young people and the youth sector, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

  • The Youth Engagement Resource Platform (YERP) is an online tool that helps boost young peoples' participation in organisations and communities.
  • The Code of Ethical Practice is a document for youth organisations, to ensure they operate in a way that is safe and ethical for young people.
