We need your help...
For CWDC, participation means ensuring the structures, resources and processes are in place so we and our workforce can take action, make changes and be steered by what children, young people and their families tell us.
We are inviting groups that work with children and young people to help us shape our work. If you would like to hear about opportunities as they arise please complete our database form to join our update list of groups.
What children, young people and parents and families say
We are committed to making sure that our work is informed by children, young people, parents and families. We do this by involving children and families directly, and making use of existing work.
If you have undertaken consultation, research or participation work that has gathered information directly from children, young people, parents and families about what they need from the people who work with them we want to hear from you!
Find out how you can contribute.
