Participation

Participation very simply means taking part, but when it is referred to with regards to you as young people it quite often means:

1. involving you in projects
2. working with you to get your ideas and opinions
3. encouraging you to become involved in decision-making to influence the services and activities that are provided for you

A set of National Standards have been developed in Wales for organisations that work with young people or whose work affects young people and detail how becoming involved should:

1. be your choice
2. provide you with clear information
3. mean you are treated fairly, equally and with respect
4. be meaningful for you - you should get something out of it
5. provide you with feedback
