This guidance on listening to young disabled children, includes inspiring examples of listening practice and significant updates on policy following the Children and Families Act, 2014.
It's a must-read for everyone working directly with young children and their families. It highlights why it’s important to listen to young children and provides information on how adults can do this well to enable children’s right to express their views on matters that affect them, and to have their views taken into account.
The guide covers three areas of activity;
- listening to individual children,
- everyday listening and consultation, and inclusive strategies and
- developing a listening culture.
Listening to Young Disabled Children is one of eight in the Listening as a Way of Life leaflet series and is free to download.
