Name Involving Young People Collective

Provider Esmée Fairbairn Foundation

After 18 months of research, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation's Involving Young People Collective (IYPC) has developed a set of values for co-production, to provide guidance for organisations looking to involve young people in their decision-making processes.

The values are a working document, but at present they include accessibility, transparency and trust, and measuring and tracking progress, among others.

These were developed in consultation with other organisations, including the Blagrave Trust, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Roundhouse, and UK Student Climate Network.

The IYPC is a group of young people passionate about social change, who contribute to the foundation's funding process, strategic priorities, and challenging it to embed a youth perspective across its work in social action.
