Free guide on children and young people's participation!

Published by Paulina for Participation Works in Communities and also in Central Government, Local Government

Together with Play England, Participation Works has developed a How To guide aimed at all those involved in designing and developing play spaces for children and young people.

In December 2008 the government launched the first national Play Strategy for England, which includes a capital investment programme to create 3,500 new or refurbished play sites. How to involve children and young people in designing and developing play spaces aims to support this initiative by providing introductory advice and practice examples of how to involve children and young people at all stages of the design process.

Participation Works has produced a series of free ‘How to…’ guides available to anyone with an interest in youth participation.
Participation Works is a consortium of six national children’s charities aiming to enable organisations to effectively involve children and young people in the development, delivery and evaluation of services that affect their lives.
