Make Hoodies History – Windsor consultation March 16-17, 2009
As part of a long-running project entitled Personal Responsibility: Building a Responsible Society, IGE UK brought together organisations that celebrate the positive work of young people through their award schemes, those delivering services to young people, cross-party policy makers, representatives of the media and others. The purpose of the consultation was to consider ways of counteracting the deficit model of young people so often presented in the media, and to explore the concept of encouraging pro social behaviour. Key recommendations arising from the consultation are to develop (i) a Youth Media Charter (ii) a Youth Press Complaints Gateway and (iii) a Practical Youth Media Action Plan. For more information please contact Susana.

Youth Media Charter – Guidance for journalists and editors on reporting young people
IGE UK is currently exploring with key partners in the media and youth sectors how a Media Youth Charter could be set up to promote a shared vision between press and young people which will (i) provide a duty of care to young people and protect them from defamation (ii) provide a balance between young people’s rights and the media’s rights and (iii) give credibility to issues raised by young people through assisting them in getting their voices heard. For more information please contact Lauren.
