We want our children to have the confidence and skills to influence decisions around them. This principle of meaningful participation is central to the adoption of a children\u2019s human rights approach and acts as a guiding \u2018General Principle\u2019 of the UNCRC.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our wider unit have worked on the\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/asp\/2024\/1\/contents\/enacted\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 (legislation.gov.uk)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> which incorporates <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cypcs.org.uk\/rights\/uncrc\/articles\/article-12\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Article 12<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> of the UNCRC. This means that children have the right to express a view in relation to decisions that affect them, and for their views to be given due weight in accordance with their age and maturity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There are two key projects which demonstrates two different approaches to how we ensure the Scottish Government is involving CYP in our work.\u00a0The first is our Participation Framework, which ensures policy teams can engage with CYP in their decision-making work \u2013 it is adult-initiated.\u00a0 The second is the CYP Executive Team and Cabinet Takeovers \u2013 this is child-initiated. Caroline and Shelly share more information below on each of these.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Participation Framework\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hi, I\u2019m Caroline and I think I have one of the best jobs in the Scottish Government.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It was earlier this year that we kicked-off the CYP Participation Framework Agreement, but our journey towards more meaningful engagement with children and young people started some time before that.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Over recent years we\u2019ve been exploring what meaningful engagement looks like, what works well, and what doesn\u2019t. We haven\u2019t been doing this in isolation. We invited reflections from policy teams, children and young people, and the organisations that support them. Unsurprisingly, their feedback highlighted praise and pitfalls. It was clear that many shared our passion about quality participation and were keen to see improvement.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We listened carefully.

We explained that we needed: opportunities to engage with a broad range of children and young people as well as those from specific groups; and an approach that was consistent yet flexible, built on relationships, expert-led and driven by quality, yet quick and easy to understand and use.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enter the CYP Participation Framework Agreement: a quicker and slicker way to engage meaningfully with children and young people through partnerships with children\u2019s organisations.

They then facilitate a national vote to arrive at the final 6 issues and these are presented and brought to life at an ET meeting in summer and then a Cabinet meeting in autumn. There are actions that are agreed at each meeting and then the deep work begins with Director Generals and policy teams to bring about change. Children and young people lead on what issues they want to bring, how they present them, what the agenda and meetings look like and are even involved in working with some policy teams.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our Approach\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hi, I\u2019m Paul and I think I have one of the best jobs in the Scottish Government!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the leader of the team, I invite us t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">o adopt a systems and collective approach to our work which connects to complexity theory.
