The Youth Select Committee Day is a new whole day event designed for up to 60 participants (age 13-19). Providing perhaps the most in depth level of engagement of Local Democracy activities the day consists of four different sessions:

1. Stimulus: The day begins with an interactive introduction to the work of Select and Scrutiny Committees.

2. Preparation: After finding out the purpose of a select committee the participants split to form up to six select committees each focusing either on education, leisure or youth democracy and spend time devising and refining key questions on topics of concern, learning debating and interview techniques.

3. Committee: Witnesses (usually the relevant portfolio holder and lead officer) are called to each committee in turn to answer questions.

4. Report: The committees retire and create a report of their findings and recommendations to be presented to the local authority.
