Participation Works

Participation Works is a online gateway to the world of children and young people's participation. The gateway was launched in October 2005 to improve the way practitioners, organisations, policy maker and young people access and share information about involving children and young people in decision making.

At its core is a comprehensive Knowledge Hub which allows you to find resources on participation. Alongside this are a series of resource which help you to:

• connect with networks of practicioners
• learn about policy and rights
• access training resources for children, young people and adults
• find out about new thinking and ideas
• map and plan for organisational change
• get into governance in your organisation
• find out about impacts of participation
