Children’s Rights and Participation for Children Under 11

Using fun and engaging activities throughout the day, this course hosted by Children in Wales will set out the theoretical and legislative framework for children’s participation in Wales.

It will include techniques and practical tools that can be used directly with children on an individual and group basis to include them as widely as possible in decisions that affect their everyday lives.

Learning objectives:

• gain an understanding of children’s rights in the Welsh context
• what participation means for children of different ages
• have an understanding of the legislation and guidance supporting participation and child centred practice
• gain skills for working with children
• identify barriers and possible solutions to participation
• develop an individual action plan.

The training has been funded through the Welsh Government saving your organisation the usual fee of £140 per attendee. This learning opportunity will benefit smaller organisations who struggle with funds to offer their staff training.

By continuing to offer these courses online, the training will remain accessible across the country, making it easier for people who have limits on travel or caring commitments, and encouraging a wide mix of people from different sectors and regions coming together in the same session to share experiences and learn from others.

When booking, please be mindful that you are able to attend.
