Handbook – Building a Culture of Participation. Involving children and young people in policy, service planning, delivery and evaluation

This Handbook was researched and written by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) and PK Research Consultancy (PKRC), and is aimed at a range of audiences, including organisations working with children and young people. The handbook provides useful ideas on how to involve children and young people in services and policy making and draws on the experiences of 29 organisations that have listened to young people and taken action on their views. The main focus of the Handbook lies on how to listen to children and young people, how to stimulate thinking and provide useful ideas about actively involving children and young people within services and policy making so that their views bring about change.
