Youth Participation Practice

This document forms part of the Local Suicide Prevention Planning and Implementation Toolkit developed by Public Health Scotland.

This section of the local area toolkit has been designed, with the support of a local leads working group, those leading on national participation projects, and members of the Lived Experience Panel, to provide guidance for developing effective and meaningful participation approaches and practices involving young people (aged 16-25) in the design, delivery, and review of local action plans.

This document will support you to:-

• Understand the context for involving young people
• Develop your participation approach
• Consider conditions for safe participation
