Working on a project where children and young people have influenced how a place becomes safer, more inclusive, or more accessible?

This category is likely a good fit.

This category is about reducing barriers and changing conditions — not just participation. What changed as a result of their involvement?

This includes work where children and young people contribute to making places safer, more inclusive, or more accessible.

Their input might influence how risks are understood, how spaces are designed or managed, or how barriers to access and inclusion are addressed.

The focus is on projects connected to real places, where their involvement has informed changes that affect who can use a space, how safely, and on what terms.

What this includes

• Input shaping how safety is understood or addressed in a place

• Contributions influencing accessibility, inclusion, or use

• Feedback affecting how risks, barriers, or exclusions are identified

• Involvement informing changes to design, management, or use

This counts

• Input that led to changes improving safety or accessibility

• Contributions influencing how spaces are used by different groups

• Young people identifying and addressing barriers to inclusion

• Involvement leading to changes in design, management, or conditions of use

This doesn’t (on its own)

• General engagement or consultation without impact on safety or access

• Inclusion-focused activity not connected to a specific place

• Participation where there is no evidence of influence

• Programmes focused on awareness without resulting change

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