Safe and welcoming spaces

Organisations create safe, welcoming, and positive youth-centred environments (both physical and digital). These spaces support calm, belonging, safety, and appropriate privacy when needed. Environments and opening hours are developed with young people. Spaces are age-appropriate, sensory-friendly, and attentive to inclusion, neurodiversity, and safeguarding. Young people feel safe in themselves, and in how the space is managed for their interactions with staff and peers.
