What Does It Mean to Be a Peer Researcher? Our Experience of Amplify is a short film in which peer researchers from the Amplify project, the Network of Regional Youth Work Units’ youth voice programme, explain what a peer researcher is and what the role involves. It’s a good place to start whether you’re a young person curious about getting involved or an organisation thinking about working with peer researchers.

Amplify is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
