Participation Standards
Introduction to the Participation Standards
In Wales, there are seven Children and Young People’s National Participation Standards to help organisations and individuals make sure the process, quality and experience of all work involving the participation of children and young people.
The Standards identify the key issues that all workers should be aware of when working with children and young people in Wales.
They were developed originally by the Participation Unit, were refreshed by a partnership between Youth Forum workers and Young Wales, and informed by consultations with young people during 2016.
The work was supported by the Welsh Government, who identified the role of the Participation Standards in guidance. The Standards are also underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, which puts the involvement of children at the heart of improving well-being.
