NIHR RDN Youth engagement and co-production resource guide
Date: 22 May 2026
The youth engagement and co-production resource guide is designed to support meaningful engagement with children, young people, and the public. It provides tools that will help involve young people in research, supporting safe and confident decisions.
The guide was developed as a practical takeaway from the presentation by NIHR Research Delivery Network’s Public Partnerships team and Jenny Gilchrist (Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust) at the recent RDF26 conference.
It brings together practical toolkits and safeguarding frameworks from the NIHR, YoungMinds, and the NSPCC.
