Youth Advisory Panel


OCO's Youth Advisory Panel (YAP)

Our Youth Advisory Panel's two year term has just come to an end. Over the last two years they have worked on several different projects with various members of OCO staff. They have been involved in: the Big Ballot, including the national count event and bringing the results to the Oireachtas; YSI 2008 and 2009; the European Network of Ombudspersons for Children conference that the OCO hosted in Dublin; Connecting Communities as well as projects such as our transition year programme and our Children and Young People's Annual Report.

Their contributions have made an enormous difference to our Office and we would like to thank them for all their hard work. At the end of October we had a get together here in the Office to thank them and to reflect on their past two and a half years here.

Below is a short clip in which some members of the panel talk about why they got involved with the OCO and some of the highlights of the past couple of years
