This publication was researched and written by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) and PK Research Consultancy (PKRC).

The handbook and the accompanying research report both aim to stimulate thinking and provide useful ideas about how to actively involve children and young people within services and policy making.

The aim of the handbook is to focus on listening to children and young people so that their views bring about change.

Another aim is to identify and illustrate the benefits of child and youth participation and ultimately guide organisations in thinking about how to create appropriate environments in which children and young people can be involved in meaningful ways and their views are listened to and acted upon.
