Youth Voice Library

Welcome to the Youth Voice Library.

This is a shared space that brings together the voices, experiences and messages of children and young people. Its main purpose is to ensure voices are not lost, and that their views are heard, valued and shape services and decisions. It is hoped this will help reduce duplication and allow previous learning to be built upon.

Here you will find a growing collection of voices shared through different formats, including audio, written reflections and creative contributions.

The Youth Voices Library supports our wider commitment to children and young people’s rights, participation and The Promise. It helps us reflect on our practice and reminds us why listening, truly listening, is essential.

Thank you for taking the time to engage with the Youth Voices Library, and for playing your part in ensuring children and young people are not just listened to, but heard.

We invite you to tell us about specific project where you have heard from children and young people using the Youth Voice Library Contribution survey below.
