The aims being to:

• Raise awareness of the guide
• Elicit feedback on format and content from a youth perspective
• Generate ideas for next steps in maximising value of guide (uptake and use)

We hope that the reports will be useful for wider initiatives working with young people, as there are many useful reflections from across the three countries. Thank you to those that participated!
