Include Youth is a rights-based charity for children and young people in or leaving care, from disadvantaged communities or whose rights are not being met. We work to improve employability, personal and social development enhancing inclusion, integration and good relations. Include Youth influences public policy led by the voice of children and young people, evidence based practice and international children’s rights standards.

Our work is underpinned by 4 core values; Equality, Inclusion, Opportunity and Integrity.

 

Services

We work with young people aged 14-24 across Northern Ireland. Many young people we work with have left school with little or no qualifications, are care-experienced and may be at risk of child sexual exploitation. We provide a safe space for young people, rebuilding their confidence, developing life-skills, enhancing employability skills and providing life changing opportunities.

 

Policy

We influence public policy that has an impact on young people’s lives.  All our work is underpinned by the voice of children and young people and evidence-based practice which enables us to produce well-informed and researched publications, including briefing papers, submissions to public consultations, young people’s submissions and manifestos. Our work is founded on the voice of young people, listening and actively campaigning in their best interests.

 

Training

We believe in continued professional develop and have created a suite of accredited and awareness sessions that we can deliver. Topics include: Awareness raising workshop on Child Sexual Exploitation, OCN NI Level 2 in Understanding Child Sexual Exploitation, Awareness raising workshop on supporting Care Experienced Children and Young people, OCN NI Level 4 in Supporting Care Experienced Children and Young People OCN NI Level 2 in Mentoring Practice

 

Our main offices are based in Belfast, Lisburn, Armagh, Ballymena, Derry/Londonderry and Omagh.
