Young people in advisory roles informing health and wellbeing research and practice

In this year's Centre for Children and Young People's Wellbeing Spring seminar we hear from two speakers discussing participatory research and practice

Participatory research and practice can be very rewarding offering rich, fresh insights into stubborn problems in children and young people’s lives. Engaging and sustaining the support of children and young people in shaping research and practice, however, can be challenging. We are joined for our Spring seminar by two exceptionally experienced practitioner/researchers to share their experiences and know-how in working with children and young people in participatory and advisory roles.
