In defence of tokenism? Implementing children's right to participate in collective decision-making
Argues against dismissing all 'tokenistic' participation in collective decision-making, such as youth councils and consultations: children report gaining skills, confidence and awareness of their rights even from imperfect involvement, and not seeking their views at all breaches their rights. Proposes feedback that is full, child-friendly, fast and followed up as central to holding adults accountable.
