Today there is an expectation that children and young
people will be not just consulted, but also empowered to
participate in decisions about their lives, and this should be
evident in service and policy design, delivery, monitoring
and evaluation.This course explores the concept of
participation, the legislation underpinning it, the different
levels of participation and the possible barriers to it.The
course also considers strategies for effective and meaningful
participation which benefits not only practitioners and their
organisations but – most importantly – the children and
young people they work with.
Learning outcomes cover:
- Participants’ views about the pros and cons of children’s
participation in child protection conferences.
- Identifying what helps and what hinders children’s
participation in child protection conferences.
- Improving practice by exploring ways of children’s
inclusion and increasing opportunities for their
participation in child protection conferences.
- Sharing of good practice.
