How will young people continue to be involved in the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations?
The involvement of young people was vital in the development of the Commission’s recommendations. A Youth Advisory Board (the ‘YABsters’), made up of 20 young people aged between 16 and 25, worked closely with Ian Russell to ensure that young people’s views stayed at the top of the agenda and really drove the final report and recommendations. A new Youth Advisory Board, again made up of 20 young people aged 16-25, has been appointed to advise v with 4 of the group sitting on the Board of Trustees. This group, known as v20, were able to apply for a place in one of 4 teams each focusing on a discrete area of work and will advise v on communications, networking, youth engagement and facilitation. Work undertaken by the implementation team on the public sector recommendations will also be shaped by the views of young people and work is planned to see what the best way of involving young people in this will be.
