Participation
Caption:
Hearing the Voice of Children and Young People
"Participation in a youth and children’s work context means that children and young people have the right to be involved in making decisions, planning and reviewing any action that might affect them. Having a voice, having a choice".
A further dimension of Participation is to involve children and young people in the planning and delivery of activities. This is often known as Active Participation.
To help churches engage with participation we have produced a number of new resources including Being Part, Listening to the Voice of Children and Hear Say. We have also added a number of useful links.
