Southampton Youth Voice Young Researcher Training Programme. The young people involved in the project were encouraged to develop their own research questions about what a Youth Voice Service could look like and how young people’s voices should be included in a Youth Voice service. In order for their research questions to relate to Southampton City Council’s priorities, service leaders in the community were invited to some of the sessions to talk about Southampton City Council’s priority themes.
