About your mentor
Southend Youth Voice Team
Supporting Young Change Makers in Southend
The Southend Youth Voice Team plays a key role in empowering children, young people, and families across Southend-on-Sea by ensuring their voices are not only heard, but meaningfully influence local decision-making. Based within Children's Services, the team works collaboratively with departments across Southend-on-Sea City Council, as well as with statutory and voluntary organisations, to champion youth participation at every level. We lead a range of youth forums including: - Southend City Youth Council - Cared for Children’s Council - Experts by Experience - SEND Youth Forum These forums provide young people with the opportunity to express their views, shape policy, and co-produce services that impact their lives. Through these platforms, we help turn young voices into real change for the community.
