TOOLKIT

A youth engagement toolkit for social housing providers: the good practice guide

Based on the participants’ experience of the Our Say Our Way programme, the Toolkit suggests tried and tested ways to help young people take more of an active role in their communities. It highlights lessons learned from the programme and gives practical advice and templates for how to arrange and facilitate this involvement.

It contains many documents, policies and templates that can be downloaded below and adapted for use in your own work.
