The Pembrokeshire Youth Information Service has used the Optionfinder audience voting system to consult with young people in schools across Pembrokeshire. Using the Optionpower presentation, we were able to inform students about the Welsh Assembly Government’s flagship policy the Ten Entitlements for Young People, whilst gaining their opinions on the extent to which they are accessing their entitlements.

Using the Entitlements Survey, the Youth Information Service are using the answers to form the basis of Youth Information Project work over the coming year.

The Youth Information team are working with groups of young people all over Pembrokeshire to address these issues, producing leaflets, running support sessions and writing articles for the Pembrokeshire Youthzone website.
