Summary/Overview:

Participation Works is an online gateway to information and resources regarding children and young people’s participation.

The site includes a comprehensive ’Knowledge Bank’ of resources, which can be searched using a variety of different criteria. There is an up to date news section and events listing, as well as an overview of the field and links to regional networks. The page is ambitious and has lots of potential to grow in terms of content and links it provides. A good basic range of information is currently covered, with plenty of useful links to key organisations.

The information provided is targeted at those working with young people, but there are also transferable resources, which could be useful in other contexts
