Listen to Amira a member of the Involving Young People Collective speak on why longevity is so important when working with young people on tackling the issues we face. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Our final Value is Longevity and Commitment! We want to feel that there is a true commitment to the involvement of young people in the organisation - not that we are a trial or tokens. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

The amazing Catherine on why communicating expectations and accountability is so important. It is truly the thread that holds the working relationship together.

[Esmée Fairbairn @EsmeeFairbairn]

🤔A few questions for organisations to consider to support how to do better on communications and accountability when #InvolvingYoungPeople...

And here's Esmée's Children and Young People lead sharing why she thinks this value is so important and what it means for us👇

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

@TNLComFund Here are the questions we prepared to support thinking around measuring progress. How do you track progress in your orgs? #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

A finding when developing the Values were that orgs find it hard to measure the progress of the working relationship between the organisation and the young people. This is not to say they were struggling to find successes but, that it requires intentional recording.

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Our favourite suggestion for tracking progress was @TNLComFund's of writing every decision, aspect of culture, thinking that a young person has influenced. Soon you will have a long tangible list of the impact involving young people has on the org. #InvolvingYoungPeople

At the IYPC we use frequent surveys and meetings to review the working relationship. We would love to hear what you do! Here are our questions to consider:

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

There are no hard and fast rules that can forge a perfect working relationship between young people and organisations so there needs to be plenty of space to reflect on how everybody involved feels. These reflections go towards growing and adapting. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Most of all, there should be fun! We have regular socials at the IYPC - many of them on Zoom over lockdowns. These can be art nights, online escape rooms or just chats over a takeaway. Whatever you do, take time to socialise and celebrate. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Here are some questions we prepared to support fostering a culture of learning within your organisation! #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Learning is the glue that holds the the relationship together. Whether this is through inter-generational teaching or responding to feedback - there should be a culture of proactive curiosity. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

In the words of @adriennemaree - 'Clarity is kindness'. This does not mean there has to be strict parameters to the breadth of the programme, just that the hopes, wishes and expectations for the programme are made clear and in collaboration with the yp. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Interested in how you can make foster Trust and Transparency ? Here are some questions that we prepared to support your thinking. Let us know what trust and transparency means to you and your organisations! #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

A youth consultancy role cannot work without the trust and transparency - trust that we are working with the full information and that our voice is truly valued and not a token. We can tell the difference by the way! #InvolvingYoungPeople

[Esmée Fairbairn @EsmeeFairbairn]

@thalia_paps Interested in how you can make your programme more Accessible - so are we! Here are some questions that we prepared to support your thinking. Please also share things that have supported you in your thinking! #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

Today we are championing Accessibility! Access should not be an afterthought, it should be at the centre of the programming.
An analysis of accessibility should be informed by an understanding of how all oppressions can lead to access needs. #InvolvingYoungPeople

[HUDL_CIC @TeamHudl]

IYPC Consultant @thalia_paps speaks more on why Accessibility is so important to us at the Collective. #InvolvingYoungPeople
