Describe a typical day. Although based in Bristol, I often travel to meetings in different parts of the country. I could be at our national office in London to attend a meeting with people interested in developing different ways in which children and young people can influence our organisation.

What other agencies, and who else within your organisation, do you work with? We have a partnership with the National Youth Agency, and they are helping us train our staff about the participation of young people.

I am also co-ordinating the pilot of an interactive computer software program aimed at obtaining feedback from children.
