Review of Children and Young People’s Participation in the Care Planning Process: literature review

Abstract

The purpose of this literature review is to identify the messages from existing research that can help inform the review of child-centred care planning currently being undertaken by the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY). The review draws on research literature mainly from England and Northern Ireland, but elsewhere if this is relevant. The literature reviewed is that which is available in the public domain. It is recognised that many local agencies also carry out small scale projects or reports on their services, including users views of services, but these are not often available to include in reviews such as this.
