Information » Law & Rights » Participation
Participation very simply means taking part, but when it is referred to with regards to you as young people it quite often means:
- involving you in projects
- working with you to get your ideas and opinions
- encouraging you to become involved in decision-making to influence the services and activities that are provided for you
A set of National Standards have been developed in Wales for organisations that work with young people or whose work affects young people and detail how becoming involved should:
- be your choice
- provide you with clear information
- mean you are treated fairly, equally and with respect
- be meaningful for you - you should get something out of it
- provide you with feedback
