What children want
A summary of children's recommendations:
- When receiving support, to be treated with respect, feel safe, have their privacy protected, and not be singled out
- Affordable, reduced or subsidised costs so that participation in school activities, and access to healthcare, housing and food do not only depend on family income
- Support that is practical, timely and consistent, especially for children in poverty, with disabilities, from minority backgrounds, migrant children, and young people leaving care
- To be listened to in decisions that affect their lives in schools, communities, and services – in meaningful and inclusive ways that lead to visible change
