Highland Youth Voice

Highland Youth Voice is an elected body of young people drawn from every area of Highland.
 
The first elections were held in October 2000.

It’s 70-100 members are elected through secondary schools (either 2 or 3 members per school, depending on the school roll) and the local area Youth Forums, of which there are 8 and they have 4 representatives each.

The young people have a wide range of opportunities to 'have their say' and are also involved in taking forward their own agenda and tackling issues that are important to them.

Dialogue Youth is a Scottish Executive initiative, concerned with making sure young people can access information and influence the public services provided in as many ways as possible. Further information on Dialogue Youth can be found on the national web site located in the External Links section.

The Dialogue Youth approach has now been mainstreamed into the way we work with young people in Highland and uses more of the informal methods of engagement through use of Information Technology.
