Each time ATLAS decide to close an action card, the User Voice and Participation (UVP) Team will create a social media image to show what ATLAS members said to raise the Action Card, what was done in response, and any comments given by young people when the Action Card was closed.
This page is an archive of these posts.
Action Cards from 2020 use the SYAS logo and refer to ATLAS as SYAS. SYAS was ATLAS’s previous name, see ‘Our Story’ for more information.
Action Cards from 2020
