Provider Norfolk County Council

For the last 10 years, Norfolk has adopted and invested in Youth Advisory Boards (YABs) as our way of putting young people's voices and participation at the heart of decision making and helping to develop Norfolk's youth offer.

Each of the seven districts in Norfolk has a YAB, with more than 250 young people trained and being supported as young commissioners to lead the YABs across the county.

The YABs are chaired by young people and work closely with professionals and stakeholders from a wide range of sectors such as education, health, police, the local authority, and the voluntary sector.
