Hello John,

Whether it's hosting showcases, having guest speakers, or meeting political candidates around election time, we know that youth work spaces are connecting with the wider community within which they exist.

To support and encourage this work, while reducing the time required to think through and plan engagements, NYCI’s Child Protection, Equality and Intercultural, and Policy and Advocacy teams have collaborated to produce a new resource: Braver, Safer Engagements ([link removed]) .

Our resource acts as a guided checklist to help you
* streamline planning engagements between young people and the wider community
* affirm and capture the best practice already happening within your service
* centre young people’s safety, participation, and wellbeing in decision-making

Best of luck reaching out and hosting in 2026 and beyond; the world deserves to connect with the amazing youth work spaces you create, and the young people you work with!

And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Grace, Anne, and Siobhán
