This is a summary of Sound Connections’ youth consultation findings 2015-2017. Having toured London and beyond, hearing from children and young people through focus groups and surveys, we have put together a report that highlights what they told us about music and the arts. Following on from the recent release of our mapping report, aimed at helping people to think about and understand ‘needs analysis’, we hope this new work amplifies children and young people’s experiences, ideas and opinions, and presents another way for those working with children and young people to better understand needs and interests.
