By the end of the course young people involved in your organisation will be able to effectively run peer facilitated youth forums, individual peer interviews and steering groups. Through our own campaigning and lobbying work with young people we have developed a model of peer research that we are now able offer to other groups of young people and their supporters. This ensures that young people can more effectively have their say and be heard. All attendees will receive a certificate of competence at the end of the training to allow them to work with other young people to bring about change and to recognise their commitment and achievement.

Voice has over 30 years experience of working with children and young people. We have been committed to supporting young people take more of a say in their care.
