Participation Network - supporting and promoting participation in practice (image)
The Children in Scotland Participation Nework work has finished. This page is for historical purposes only.
What is the network?
The Participation
Network, which is currently made up of 254 members, has formed well-established
links between groups and organisations committed to the participation
of children and young people in decision-making throughout Scotland.
The Network facilitates the exchange
of information and ideas between those working in this field through
an e-directory, e-group and an interactive online
map of participation projects across Scotland. Members
of the Network have also attended and contributed to a variety of policy consultations
and responses.
How do I join?
The Participation Network is free of charge and open to any organisation,
local or national, voluntary or statutory of any size who actively involve
children and young people in the participation of their organisation.

One Step Beyond
This three year project, funded by the Carnegie UK Trust, provided
targeted training for professionals and young people, a young persons’
e-network and increased participation in the policy process at local and
national levels.
One Step Beyond will cater for groups and organisations who have evolved
past basic participatory techniques and are involving children and young
people at more advanced stages of decision-making.
Further details on training can be found in the Training
and Events Section.
