The Next Gen Youth (NGY) project was run by Unity Radio. It worked with 23 young people over a year to enable them to produce a series of 2hr radio shows focused on child and sexual exploitation (CSE). Among the benefits for the participants were: a dramatic reduction in missing from home and care incidents; increased confidence and self-belief; and improved social networks. Listeners to the show gained: improved knowldege of issues surrounding CSE; and creation of discussion and debate amongst listeners of all ages. The evaluation of the project can be read here.
