2. Sharing advice with professionals about issues young people face and working together to find solutions.

3. Teaming up with professionals to improve services and creating new opportunities that match what young people want and need.

4. Helping professionals learn how to involve young people in planning and decision-making.

5. Creating easy-to-understand, youth-friendly materials and “youth-proof” information.

6. Building connections with local youth groups, organisations and networks in Redbridge.

7. Taking part in important training, like safeguarding, leadership, and peer research.

We’re looking for 6 Young Advisors to join the team.
