advice

We look at the ideas we have investigated and try to:

• Understand and describe what is being communicated
• Identify similarities and differences between people’s ideas
• Pick out issues that are striking
• Work out what people want to make happen
• Record these ideas as evidence and recommendations

We try to work out who needs to hear these ideas and to connect with them. This could be people who:

• Share the same experiences or goals
• Friends, family or community groups
• have power or responsibilities related to the recommendations

Then we plan how to work with these people to make the recommendations happen. For example:

• Inviting audiences of policy makers or community activists to attend an event and make commitments
• Organising, planning and managing the activities or services that children and young people want
• Presenting recommendations to committees

Children, young people and adults plan and take these actions together.
