·         Ideas and examples of good practice on how to involve young people in decision making, including local planning and delivery, to help achieve a sustainable future for communities

The event is suitable for anyone wanting to involve children and young people in their work including planners, policy makers/leads and practitioners working in statutory, third sector and government organisations at a local and regional level.
