The participation of children and young people in decision-making
In this video, Chrissie Gale speaks to Emily Delap. Emily is an independent international consultant with more than 20 years’ experience as a researcher, policy adviser, and programme manager focusing on child protection in developing country contexts. She has lived and worked for 11 years in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and completed projects in the Middle East, South-East Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. Emily has extensive knowledge of child protection systems, alternative care, family strengthening and child exploitation.
Emily tells us about the importance of the participation of children and young people in decisions that affect their lives. She reflects on how their participation is intrinsic to the effective implementation of the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children. Emily also provides us with ideas about ways to facilitate and support the participation of children and young people.
