Participation Practitioners Place
An information hub open to all professionals involving children and young people in decision making. To register for access contact Melanie Clarke Service Manager Participation and Play, on melanie.clarke@oxfordshire.gov.uk or call 01865 256 670
The Participation Practitioners Place provides background information, training materials and templates. Setting up and running a Participation Project takes time to organise - we hope the resource here will be helpful and keep you ahead of the game! The resources combines information from different service areas; it's only a start - we hope we'll all add to it over time as practice develops. You can also access more resources at Participation Works, a consortium of national children and young people's
agencies offering information on effective involvement of children and young people in the development,delivery and evaluation of services that affect their lives.
