Our strategic and policy work

SYC adopts a rights-based approach to our work. We work with young people and families to implement their rights under the law and the UN Convention of Rights of the Child. We campaign for further rights to address key issues that impact on the lives of young people and their families; see more about our voice and influence work here.

We undertake this work in partnerships with statutory and voluntary sector partners locally, regionally and nationally. This includes influencing the development of policies and initiatives, as well as supporting the development of new services which could benefit young people and their families.
