Child Participation Framework
Five clear standards that guide how we engage with children and young people, so they know they’re heard and their views matter to us.
The Child Participation Framework is all about making sure children feel heard, and know their views matter. It sets out five clear standards that guide how we build relationships, listen deeply, take children’s views seriously, invest in their development, and advocate for change together.
It’s designed to support everyday practice, helping our teams create safe, welcoming spaces where children can express themselves and influence decisions.
Whether you're planning a program or having a conversation, the framework offers practical ways to embed participation and uphold children’s rights – so they’re not just included, but actively shaping the world around them.
