Questions

Does this replace our engagement framework?

No. It sits alongside it as a quick check on the youth-specific parts.

How long does it take?

About 15 minutes. It works best before the consultation is designed, or straight after the last one.

Is it free?

Yes. Fill in the form and your download link appears straight away.

Can I share it with my team?

Yes. Use it, copy it and share it with anyone it helps.
