Assess child participation at national and European levels
The project supported national assessments of child participation mechanisms and practice in partner countries using the CPAT. The findings of such processes are now available in assessment reports and should contribute to national action plans with guidance to policy makers and all relevant professionals who work for and with children and young people on measures to improve child participation.
Measuring impact of the Child Participation Assessment Tool: Outcome indicators and guidance for data collection
This guidance has been developed to support States in finding out how effective their actions under the Child Participation Assessment Tool (CPAT) of the Council of Europe have been in building the ‘architecture’ necessary to facilitate, support and enable meaningful children’s participation. It provides indicative guidance on how to collect the data against which to measure the outcomes of those actions.
Let's decide together
This guide is for adults responsible for planning for, and engaging with, children in decision making processes in local and national authorities. In most cases they are public servants who design and organise child participation activities in decision making processes taking place in national and local authorities. The aim of the Guide is to support all of them, with practical guidance and inspiring good practices, to make participation in decision making processes a regular, safe and accessible practice for every child.
Guidelines for developing a National Children's Participation Strategy
The aim of these guidelines is to develop guidance notes addressed to national authorities of Council of Europe member States in order to provide them with the possible or necessary ‘ingredients’ for effective child participation strategies within a national children’s participation strategy or within a children’s rights strategy.
