Role of the Youth Advisory Council

The Youth Advisory Council members aim to speak up for, and on behalf of young people in North Northamptonshire by:

• identifying and tackling issues considered important by young people 
• helping to make sure that young people’s voices shape services and facilities in North Northamptonshire, to reflect what young people want and need
• seeking the views of young people and promoting opportunities to get involved in the democratic process and have their say
• supporting and promoting the work of UK Youth Members of Parliament through local and national initiatives

Council members will meet monthly face-to-face at a council office or virtually.

They will also be involved in activities including:

• discussions and consultation on various topics where the council and other network partners need a young person’s perspective and voice
• completing specific tasks linked to the Youth Advisory Council Action Plan
• focus groups 
• secret shopping activities for the council and partners
• organising and supporting events for young people and the wider community
