In spite of children and young people being involved in many aspects of community life, social policy in the UK often neglects their interests. This book argues that contrary to conventional adult wisdom, children and young people are competent to take part in collective decision making and that it is essential that they do so. Practical examples from Save the Children’s work are provided to show ways in which children and young people can be encouraged to participate and have a real say in how things are done.
