Face to face: children and young people's right to participate in public decision-making

Marshall, Byrne & Lundy, Queen's University Belfast · 2015 · Academic paper

Book chapter drawing on two Northern Ireland studies, a 2011 review of government practice and a 2013 evaluation of six funded organisations. Face-to-face meetings helped decision-makers understand children's lives and made young people feel taken seriously, but outcomes were often unclear. Good engagement depended on respect, relevance, transparency and accountability.
