Consultation Toolkit: A practical guide to consulting with children and young people on policy related issues. Scottish Executive’s Action Programme for Youth, 2009

Children and young people have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives, the lives of their community and the larger society in which they live. Participation should run alongside decision making at local and national levels. The Consultation Toolkit aims to encourage and facilitate children and young people’s participation in the decision making process at these different levels. The document is written for a wide audience, from people with no experience of group work or consultations to those with extensive experience, such as community workers, youth workers, teachers, local authority workers and facilitators.
