Among the articles included is a look at an East Riding scheme that sees councillors teaming with individual young people to provide a "clear and direct route to conversation" on issues affecting them (see picture).
Hull's Big Bash - a celebration of the achievements of the authority's Youth Opportunity Fund grants scheme - is also highlighted, as is an innovative scheme based in Southampton that provides young people with unprecedented access to the city council's director for children's services.
