Abstract

Children often ask adults for guidance, respect and patience and this should include the right to hear the voice of children. The various contexts of decision making include participation in the process of individual decision making, service development, research, participation in communities and the ability to influence public awareness and policy. Children are have the will of participating in decision making which often extends beyond their immediate needs and their personal individual interests but in reflection to other contexts. For participation to be effective there should be the presence of required skills and knowledge and a critical reflection and evaluation of the participation process and outcomes. Participation are all activities that are involved in the developing of opportunities to express a view influence certain diction that is made or achieve change that is desired. Participation and involvement of children should be one that is informed and willing including the presence of marginalized children and those with different ages and abilities (Foley and Leverett 2008).

Some of the key child services include family care and this is the care given to children such as day care services for children aged five years and under, practical home help or services offered by health or education authorities. Child protection is a service offered to young children who are at high risks of undergoing significant risks, therefore, the child's situation is looked into and necessary action is taken to keep the child safe and promote their welfare.

[...] According to Treseder's model, there are those children who often wish to participate at levels that reflect on their abilities, resources that are available and ambitions. The level of participation will depend on individual contexts and children will not be grouped homogeneously; other children will be involved with groups of individuals who share similar experiences and this is very important. With peer support, children are able to be encouraged to take responsibility for each other and participate actively in the development of positive relationships as well as the community wellbeing.

[...] Circle time is an approach the enables children participation even though it raises several practical issues that need consideration when undertaking participatory work with the group of children. This approach is appropriate for use in early year's settings and schools and it helps children develop communication and self-confidence while they are within groups. Differences present in circle time can also be applied to a wide range of participatory perspectives that include resident groups and groups of young carers. This approach is valuable when helping young children develop social awareness and this is a prerequisite for any social participation. [...]
