Respect Matters A package of training usually delivered over two days to a mixed group of young people (aged 14 and above) and adults who work with young people. Using a variety of styles of learning (PowerPoint not included) we cover rights and responsibilities, participation and most importantly communication.

The sessions develop a safe environment for young people and adults to discuss services together and focus on finding solutions to perceived problems. We have delivered versions for Social Services, Connexions and schools.
