Summary: Recommendations from the German project: "Participation as a Quality Standard for Residential Child and Youth Care" The following recommendations, submitted to the Committee on the Rights of the Child for considearation during the 2006 Day of General Discussion, are based upon the experience and knowledge we have gained within the scope of the project "Participation as a Quality Standard for Residential Child and Youth Care". This now-ended project, which had a duration of over a year, was initialised by SOS-Kinderdorf e.V. Germany an the Internationale Gesellschaft für erzieherische Hilfen e.V. (IGfH), the German branch of the International Fédération of Communautés Educatives (FICE). It was conducted by the Social Work faculty at the Landshut University of Applied Sciences. The project was directed by Prof. Dr. Mechthild Wolff, operated by Sabine Hartig and assisted by a steering group with the following members: Josef Koch (IGfH), Reinhard Rudek, Reiner Romer (SOS-Kinderdorf). The goal of the project was to define the quality of participation in residential child care from the user perspective, and to conjointly compile with the youth, what from their viewpoint constitutes successful participation in the practice of residential child care.
