Children and Young People

“The evaluation undertaken by Wavehill was notable in its professionalism; from the specification in the tender, to their insistence on evidence based and authentic information, all the way through to the final report”

The strategic agenda relating to Children and Young People is constantly evolving. At Wavehill we are informed, innovative and above all inclusive in our work with Children and Young People. We make consultation lively, fun, and accessible, allowing them to express their views freely.

Wavehill has used participatory exercises across the UK, and have a wide experience of working with young people in a range of different areas and circumstances, from urban environments to rural communities.
