Our Youth Participation Strategy sets out what meaningful participation is, whose responsibility it is, and how we will know that we are getting participation right. The approach has been co-produced with Devon young people and is based on the Lundy Model of Participation. This strategy should be used to influence and shape team plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
