Aaron Hipgrave Lewis-Youth Voice In Education

Aaron’s research explores how well schools listen to and act on student voices. His project examines:

• Whether young people feel heard and valued in decision-making.
• Examples of best practice in youth voice facilitation.
• How schools can better embed student perspectives in their policies and culture.

Findings will be compiled into a comprehensive journal summarising reflections on Youth Voice today, to be shared at a national event in Summer 2025.

How You Can Get Involved

Aaron is looking for:

• Students and educators willing to share their experiences of youth voice in schools.
• Participants for a Play Verto survey (under 10 minutes).
• Contributors for in-person or online focus groups (1-2 hours).
• Interviewees for one-to-one discussions on youth voice facilitation.

All responses will be anonymous and contribute to wider research on how schools can improve youth representation.
