Participation: Five steps to participation

Harry Wade, participation team manager at The National Youth Agency, shares his advice on where to begin on getting young people involved in decision-making

LEARN FROM OTHERS Setting out to build children and young people's participation into an organisation may feel daunting, so it is reassuring to get advice from people who have already been down this road. Talking to others can help identify the key landmarks and milestones, the paths that are easily trodden, and just as usefully, where the potholes lie.

An increasingly useful guide is the Participation Works web site (www.participationworks.org.uk). It provides a comprehensive source of participation information, including case studies, as well as a series of "rooms" on rights, policy and training. The Participation Works network allows professionals to share their ideas, information and keep in touch.
