Six young people from Gateshead have been advising professionals in the North East about how to work effectively with young people.
The young people aged 10 to 14 devised leaflet and poster ideas to help explain the Common Core, a set of basic skills that all professionals who work with children and young people are expected to know.
The workshops, which were organised by NCH's The Children's Say project, involved the group interviewing children's services professionals, including education welfare officers.
Jacqueline Robson, senior participation worker at NCH, said: "The idea was to ensure the leaflets were easy for everyone to understand, which the young people did brilliantly."
