“…The programme aims to provide specialised age-appropriate medical, Young people need appropriate support and scaffolding, including training, coaching and orientation to governance processes, to engage effectively with leadership, policy and planning in cancer care. Models of both leadership and consumer engagement tend to categorise initiatives according to their levels of involvement, placing higher value on greater involvement although this may not be appropriate for all individuals and situations (Carman et al, 2013;Kirby & Gibbs, 2006). Initiatives engaging young service users should consider their variable skills, interests, psychosocial and developmental needs, and preferences for involvement, especially when seeking to improve leadership inclusivity and diversity (Checkoway, 2011;Kirby & Gibbs, 2006).…”
