This includes workshops, presentations, specialist audits, sensory spaces, and consultations. We are dedicated to assisting organisations to create a more inclusive environment for young people with disabilities. Furthermore, we aim to create events for our community which are steered by young people with disabilities.

Audits

YDAN can provide tailored audits conducted by young people with disabilities, which provides comprehensive experiential feedback on access and appeal to youth for your service, venue or event.

Consultations

YDAN aims to assist organisations to create inclusive activities, spaces and policies though our consultation process. Our consultation process aims to gather direct feedback from young people with disabilities through mechanisms like co-designs and surveys. By listening to members of our community, YDAN can provide accurate feedback through bespoke reporting to assist organisations in implementing change. Co-designs are essential in YDAN fulfilling its duty to create events for our community, by our community.

Sensory Spaces

YDAN offers sensory/chill spaces designed by young people with disabilities for your service, venue, or events. These spaces are carefully crafted to create a calming environment where individuals can take a break, unwind, and recharge. They are equipped with sensory-friendly features, offering a peaceful area for relaxation, helping to reduce sensory overload and providing a comfortable space to rest.
