This self-assessment helps you translate that commitment into everyday practice by pausing to notice where you’re strong, where you’re stretched, and where you need support.
This tool invites practical reflection across key areas of youth leadership—such as inclusion, power-sharing, digital ethics, risk and duty of care, reflective practice, and motivation—so you can act with integrity and consistency. For each statement, you’ll select the level that best describes your current practice and can add brief notes or examples.
