AYAC works to provide comment and submissions on issues affecting young people and the youth sector. What we aim to achieve is to support or introduce the perspective and voice of young people into policy debates. Working closely with the advice of the AYAC Policy Advisory Council ensures our policy work incorporates a broad cross-section of perspectives.
