Participatory Youth Practice (PYP)

Participatory Youth Practice (PYP) is an evidence-based, research-informed framework of youth justice practice, developed through co-creation and participatory research with young people in Greater Manchester. It uses young people’s lived experiences, supported by academic theory and research evidence, to formulate a new approach to youth justice.

We will shortly be relaunching our award-winning Participatory Youth Practice Framework.

Originally co-created with justice-involved children and developed and embedded over the last five years across the Greater Manchester region, PYP has been revised and updated to take account of current research evidence. Download the Participatory Youth Practice Engagement Framework

You can also see PYP explained in the words of young people themselves through their creative lyric writing and presented in a creative and engaging video.
