What YAG does
- Talks about issues that affect young people in Jersey.
- Advises the Commissioner and her team on what’s working well and what needs to change.
- Helps design consultations, surveys and creative projects.
- Represents young people’s voices at events, panels and meetings.
- Helps shape reports, campaigns and advice for government and services.
Members meet regularly throughout the year and take part in workshops, visits and special projects.
Why it matters
The Commissioner has a duty to listen to children and young people directly – not only to adults who work with them. The YAG makes that happen, giving real insight into the everyday lives of Jersey’s young people.
