There are four booklets in the “Listen To Me” series. Please readthe guidance booklet first, which explains how parents, carers andprofessionals can support children and young people to makeimportant decisions about their lives. One example would be tohelp children prepare for their review meetings.
Booklets 1 – 3 are to be used by adults with children and youngpeople. All three booklets provide the same information, but eachis written to suit children and young people at different stages ofdevelopment. Parents, carers and professionals should choose themost appropriate booklet.
What is this leaflet for?The booklet draws together examples of good practice and aims toencourage adults to be creative in helping children to express theirviews. What works best for one child, may not be appropriate for another.
The booklet is not designed for young people to look at on their own.
You may want to attach a picture of your child to the front coverwhen you share this booklet with them.
Please use the ideas in this booklet and ask the young peoplehow they would like to express their views.
