Working on an approach where children and young people have influenced how participation or design is embedded into practice?

This category is likely a good fit.

This category is about lasting change in how work is done — not one-off activity. What has changed as a result of their involvement?

This includes work where children and young people contribute to shaping how organisations, projects, or teams operate over time.

Their input might influence processes, methods, or ways of working, leading to participation or engagement becoming part of standard practice.

The focus is on approaches that are sustained, repeatable, and embedded — not isolated activities.

What this includes

• Input shaping how participation is integrated into ongoing work

• Contributions influencing processes, methods, or workflows

• Feedback affecting how decisions are made over time

• Involvement informing organisational or project-wide approaches

What counts

If children and young people influenced how participation or design is embedded into ongoing practice, it counts.

This doesn’t (on its own)

• One-off projects or isolated engagement activities

• Strategies without evidence of implementation

• Participation where there is no change in practice

• Activity that is not sustained or repeatable

If your work spans multiple areas, choose the category that best reflects what changed.
