Abstract: q Help organisations explore how they can develop cultures and infrastructures which sustain and embed participation throughout all their activity. Who is the Handbook for?This Handbook is aimed at a range of audiences, including organisations working with children and young people in different ways: * Kirby, P. et al (2003) Building a Culture of Participation: Research Report.London: Department for Education and Skills. What do we mean by participation?We use the term participation not simply to mean 'taking part' or 'being present' but as having some influence over decisions and action.We also use the terms 'involve' (passive verb) and 'participate' (active verb) interchangeably.We are concerned with children and young people's participation in both personal and public decisions and use the Children & Young People's Unit's (CYPU) definition of these (see box).For further information about on-going group reflection see:Waveinstein, K. (1995) Action Learning.
