New Research Reports on Children's Participation in Decision-Making

The National Children's Bureau (NCB) and the Children's Rights Alliance for England were commissioned in Autumn 2009 by the Office of the Commissioner to examine children's participation in decision-making in England. The research shows that young people often feel excluded from decisions which affect their lives though children and young people are one of the largest user groups of public services. The research also shows that national surveys about healthcare, quality of public service provision and civic activity often fail to ask them about their experiences.
