Introduction
The strategies in this toolkit can be used by adults working on an individual basis with a young child for a specific purpose or by adults who have significant contact with young children on a frequent basis embedding meaningful consultation in daily practice.
This tool will support you to engage in a fun playful way to enable young children to gain knowledge about their rights and develop a range of skills to support them to engage with their rights.
