Highlights
Consultation provides children and young people an opportunity to influence decisions that affect their lives. It is a form of participation where their views are gathered for a specific purpose.
As adults we have a responsibility to hear the views and voices of young people and children because what they have to say is worth listening to.
By listening we are acknowledging that children and young people are important and valued members of the community.
