Our best practice: The ListenUp! project
"The Listenup! project is a new initiative set up by Wokingham DistrictCouncil to give children and young people the power to change localpolicies and have more involvement in decisions about the area in whichthey live, work and study.
"A multi-tiered communication model has been developed to ensurechildren and young people are included in consultation and participationin the district. The first tier provides young people in schools, youthcentres and community groups with the channels to voice their views onlocal services and activities.
"This feedback is then passed to The Listenup! executive, which includesyoung people from the Listenup! Y10 group and the Listenup! schoolspanel. The executive regularly meets after school and during holidays toquiz council officials on issues such as ID cards and youth cafes.
