Ready Steady Go - involving Children & Young People in decision making

Are you looking to increase children and young people participation in your organisation? Then the Participation Works consortium has a range of training courses and a consultancy package, ranging from introducing a selection of training methods and tools, through to organisational change and strategic planning to support you.

Our courses are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of staff including managers and trustees as well as young people themselves, and will include accredited training. The training programme is being delivered England wide by a team of Participation Works approved trainers, including young people who are aged 16-19 years.

Courses are free to Voluntary, Community and other Third Sector organisations (1 person per organisation) and £85 for Statutory organisations.

Ready Steady Change is a one-day course that introduces participants to a selection of training methods and tools to enhance their skills and knowledge in increasing children and young people's effective participation in decision-making. The course focuses on values, change and action. Ready Steady Change approaches participation from a children's rights framework and is suitable for all individuals involved in participation work.
