Mapping Children and Young People's Participation in England

Carolyn Oldfield (National Youth Agency) & Clare Fowler (British Youth Council), for the Department for Education and Skills (RR584) · 2004 · Evidence review

Government-commissioned survey of 849 statutory and 160 voluntary organisations in England on how they involve children and young people in public decision-making. Around four in five said they did so and most reported growth, but monitoring and formal evaluation were limited. Senior management commitment was the factor most often named as promoting effective participation.
