Welcome to ‘Hear by Right’ Gloucestershire, the website for young people, and councillors and officers from Gloucestershire County Council. The website has been designed, compiled and is maintained by young people.

Its purpose is to...

  • Provide an opportunity for young people, councillors and officers to communicate with each other and…
  • Bridge the gap between young people and the Council
  • Provide information about what’s happening with Children and Young People’s Services
  • Get young people involved in making decisions in Gloucestershire County Council

Our Voice, Our Vision

Following DVD evaluations this film have been temporarily removed and the final polished version will be available to view on this site in mid September. Thank you to everyone who has contrubuted.

Our Voice, Our Vision

Who are we?

What do we do?

Hear By Right is the name given to a set of national standards that measure the active involvement of children and young people in decisions that affect them here in Gloucestershire.

The National Youth Agency supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, invited Gloucestershire County Council and its young people to pilot these standards.

‘Children and young people need to be involved within the structure and governance of Gloucestershire’s Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership’
(CYPSP)

Active Involvement of young people

Active involvement and participation of children and young people is crucial to ensure that the voice of children and young people is heard, which the CYPSP fully endorses:

09:00 - 18 June 2007

A 14-year-old girl was viciously attacked by a gang who filmed the brutal incident on a mobile phone.

The so-called "happy slapping" incident took place when Charlotte Debieux, a pupil at Barnwood Park Arts College School was set upon.

The terrified teenager was poked, pushed, tripped up and goaded by a crowd of jeering girls as her head smacked onto a brick wall.

Tonight's Festivities

Thu, 12/07/2007 - 22:08 — Kitt

Tonight a group of young people from the Hear by Right group got together with a group of young people from YPLAN and chowed down on some very, very yummy pizza.
I suppose I'm just wondering if anyone had any feedback? I really enjoyed it, I definitely think it's worth doing something similar again - anyone with me?

Oooops. An apology.

Mon, 02/07/2007 - 14:18 — Kitt

It's just come to my attention that this website has been really, REALLY neglected recently. Please consider the following a little apology and explanation of some changes to Hear By Right that have been going on.

Youth Politics

Sun, 13/05/2007 - 02:27 — FrankMario

Do you think the government full encourages youths to have a political stance in terms of the political spectrum or do you think it restricts youths to only minor concerns like being 'green'?
I've got to say that I find it patronising the way 'youth parliments' are portrayed and looking through alot of the profiles of candidates, I find that their main policy is as trivial as school dinners.
I think that youths should be allowed to express their points of view on wider issues and be allowed to influence the decisions of the elected government.
