Who the course is for:
Practitioners and managers within all disciplines and settings who are in the process of developing participation within the organisation.
Aim of the course:
To equip participants with basic theory, practical approaches and tools, to help them build a culture of participation.
Information about the course:
Building a Culture of Participation explores how an organisation’s culture can be established to support children and young people’s active and meaningful participation. The course is supported by an in-depth research report and a handbook, which was originally created by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) and PK Research Consultancy for the DCSF.
The course is based on developing participants’ skills and knowledge in participation, involving self and organisational analysis as well as action planning. This course may lead on to gaining one to one advice and support from an approved Participation Works consultant.
