Listenability: responsive policymaking for young people

Effective engagement with people with disability and carers is critical to developing quality, responsive policy and services.

It will develop strategies and guidance for listening to and including young people in service planning and implementation processes more effectively. The project will produce a public report and video summary, as well a practice guide for policy and service organisations which will be distributed widely thro
