Child Participation

Children have the right to participate in matters affecting their lives and should be enabled to give their opinions, and to have those opinions taken into account. Through participation, children learn self-expression, empowerment and ultimately greater self-esteem.  Children are a diverse group and therefore children of different ages, abilities, backgrounds, races, and both genders should ideally be included in a consultation process.

Placer les enfants et les jeunes au cœur de la réforme des soins est un manuel d’introduction destiné aux praticiens. Le manuel fournit un aperçu complet de la façon d’impliquer de manière significative les enfants et les jeunes dans la réforme des soins. Il couvre le cadre juridique et théorique, les bases de l’engagement avec les enfants et les jeunes, la manière d’être inclusif et les moyens pratiques d’impliquer les enfants et les jeunes dans le suivi et l’évaluation. Il contient également un chapitre détaillé sur la manière dont les enfants et les jeunes peuvent et doivent être impliqués tout au long de la réforme des soins, depuis la prise de décisions concernant leurs propres soins jusqu’à l’engagement dans des décisions politiques mondiales. Il mettra les lecteurs au défi d’accroître leur participation à leur propre travail et de les doter d’outils pour le faire de manière sûre et significative.
