Children's toolkit

This toolkit is a practical guide for New Zealand councils on how to involve children and young people up to 25 years of age in council planning and decision-making.

It includes examples of child and youth participation exercises, practical considerations when involving young people and tools for involving young people.

The New Zealand Local Government Toolkit for Child and Youth Participation was initiated in 2003 by a working group of central and local government representatives. They were Local Government New Zealand, the Ministry of Social Development, the Ministry of Youth Development and the Department of Internal Affairs.
