This flexible training resource is a useful tool for organisations wishing to involve young people in the recruitment of staff, volunteers and mentors.
It is particularly useful for agencies providing social care services to children and young people, such as residential child care and mentoring for care leavers, but can also be adapted for use by schools and health care providers who want to develop children’s participation.
