✨ Empower Kids Project ✨ We were approached at the recent Tusla Child & Youth Participation Awards by young people from the Barnardos Empower Kids Project and spoke with them about their involvement in the Project. The Empower Kids Project is a multi-agency collaboration with services from around Ireland and includes the voices of more than 74 children and young people to date who have endured the impact of domestic violence and abuse. A range of resources for the Empower Kids Project are available to view here: https://lnkd.in/eQe4HpHR Read the case study here: https://lnkd.in/eWvQyebT #KidsvsDomesticViolence Barnardos Ireland

📣 Hub na nÓg and the DCEDIY are proud to announce the launch of a toolkit for including children from birth to 5 years in decision-making. The toolkit provides guidance on how to listen to babies, toddlers and young children and involve them in decision-making on matters that affect their lives. The toolkit is intended to be a useful resource for all adults who work with and support babies, toddlers and young children. The toolkit is based on the National Framework on the Participation of Children and Young People in Decision-making. It is informed by children, adults who work directly with children, and a literature review on methodologies for consulting children from birth to five years that was overseen by an Early Years Working Group, made up of early years educators and specialists. We are very grateful to everyone who contributed to the development of the toolkit. The toolkit is available to download at https://lnkd.in/ewcQw2EU To support the launch of the toolkit, we are hosting an e-learning session on Tuesday the 10th of December which will present a comprehensive review of the literature and practice that has informed the development of this toolkit. Registration details are available via Eventbrite https://lnkd.in/e3mHS4Ex Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
