This publication is intended to support improvement in learner participation in self-evaluation and school improvement. The resource is in two parts. It is important that schools engage with both parts. Part one is about establishing the right culture to support effective learner participation. Part two is about children and young people getting actively involved in self-evaluation. "Part One: A guide for staff and partners working with children and young people" will support self-evaluation of current approaches to learner participation. It is intended to be used by school staff and partners working collaboratively with children and young people to evaluate what is working well and consider what would support increased learner participation. "Part Two: A self-evaluation framework for use by children and young people" includes some suggested activities to support children and young people to evaluate the quality of relationships, learning and teaching, school and community, health and wellbeing and successes and achievements. This toolkit contains some features of highly-effective practice and challenge questions to support professional dialogue amongst staff and partners. The aim of Part one is to support schools in evaluating the ethos and culture of the school against what is currently considered as strong practice in learner participation and children's rights.
