Participation at Anna Freud
Our Participation Strategy is our commitment to listen to and learn from the voices of children, young people, parents and carers in all aspects of our work.
Our participation strategy has children and young people at its heart. It explains how our work is strengthened by adopting the Lundy model of participation. This rights-based approach creates a framework for us to hear, listen to and act upon the voices of those we work with.
By strengthening opportunities for children, young people and families to have a voice, and influence what we do, we’ll increase our knowledge and understanding, achieve scientific breakthroughs and continue to be at the forefront of innovation.
