Involving Children in Decision-Making

We all know it is vitally important to give even our youngest children opportunities to participate in decision-making, but it can be a challenge to know how to do this effectively. Please find below opportunities to be involved in creating guidance and support materials to use with young children to help them become meaningfully involved in decision-making.

This questionnaire will allow you to share your views on current practice. It should take no longer than 5 minutes and will close on Friday 27th March.

Questionnaire Link

If you would like to collaborate in co-creating the guidance and support materials with children and young people please leave your contact details using the Forms link below.
