Synopsis: Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child grants children and young people who are able to form a view the right to participate in all decisions that affect them. This work considers the policy context for consultation and participation and explores guiding principles and recommendations for achieving positive change with children and young people. Participatory approaches are shown through six case studies of key areas of The Children's Society project work, which include consulting and including young carers in policy and practice development, advocacy in the child protection system, and setting up a children and young people's bureau. The practical guidance offered in the case studies should enable organizations and individuals to develop and enhance children's and young people's participation in decision-making in a range of settings.
