Introduction
A report commissioned by the Scottish Government to explore the impact children and young people’s participation has had on policy-making in Scotland.
The research conducted for this project identified that children and young people are engaged in policy making in Scotland in a variety of areas. By using a case study approach, we were able to look in depth at children and young people’s engagement in six different policy areas: police powers; child rights; domestic violence; children’s hearings; sex education; and human rights.
