Youth Access

Who we are

Youth Access is the national membership organisation for youth information, advice and counselling services (YIACS). We work with our members to provide a unified voice for the youth advice and counselling sector, and support young people to campaign for transformational change to deliver the services and systems that meet their needs and fulfil their rights.

We do this through numerous projects and campaigns, by:

• Providing YIACS with the tools they need to deliver high quality services to young people
• Building the evidence to shape policy and services that meet young people’s needs
• Promoting young people’s right to be heard

Some of our most recent work includes working with partners and young people across the devolved nations to create manifestos which aim to influence policy and system changes to reflect the needs of young people.
