Welcome to the Participation Tool Kit
This is a set of tools, guidance and resources that supports workers, staff and volunteers to engage with and involve children and young people and their families in the planning, delivery and monitoring of their own and others’ care, support and services. The tool kit should help you to hear about and learn from their lived experiences.
