Working on a strategy, framework, or approach where children and young people have influenced how places are shaped?

This category is likely a good fit.

This category is about direction — not just activity.
What changed as a result of their involvement?

This includes work where children and young people contribute to how policies, strategies, or frameworks for the built environment are developed.

Their input might influence priorities, direction, or how decisions are made over time.

The focus is on work that shapes systems or approaches, where their involvement has informed outcomes.

What this includes

• Input shaping strategy, policy, or frameworks

• Contributions influencing priorities or direction

• Feedback affecting how decisions are made

• Involvement informing long-term approaches

What counts? If children and young people influenced how decisions are shaped at a strategic level, it counts.

This counts

• Input that shaped strategy or policy

• Contributions influencing direction or priorities

• Young people informing decision-making approaches

• Involvement leading to changes in systems or frameworks

This doesn’t (on its own)

• Engagement not connected to decision-making

• Activity without influence on strategy

• Participation where there is no evidence of change

• Isolated projects without wider impact

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