Setting out the Breeze Youth Promise challenge, young people from Leeds Youth Council have set out what they expect to receive from services that work with young people in Leeds.
The promise was first introduced in the city in 2007, in a bid to give young people aged 13 to 19 a voice in shaping their future. It commits everyone working in children's services to provide the best advice and guidance for young people as well as safe and enjoyable events, activities and venues.
In previous years, the promise was made up of three themes: "somewhere to go", "something to do" and "someone to talk to".
This year young people have added "something to say" as a theme and have made a short film that will be shown across the city introducing it.
Yasmin Rhodes, a 16-year-old member of the youth council said: "The Breeze Youth Promise will only work if we scrutinize it and make sure the authorities are keeping up their part of the promise, which is why it's so important that young people know how to have their say."
