Introduction

This Participation of Children and Young People in Decision-making: Action Plan 2024-2028 is the second national plan to support children and young people to participate in decision-making. It builds on the ambition and achievements of the first National Strategy on Children and Young People’s Participation in Decision-making, 2015-2020, which set out and delivered on the government’s commitment to realise the right of children and young people to be heard when decisions that affect their lives are being made.
