There are lots of reasons why young people complain.
- Some young people feel that no-one listens to their views or feelings and that people make big decisions without asking what they want.
- Some young people are not happy with where they are living and want to move.
- Some young people are having problems at school or have been suspended or excluded.
- Some young people feel that they are not supported by staff/carers to do activities/hobbies or that they do not see people who are important to them.
