Style of leadership
Leadership is always vital, especially during a time of change. Promoting the participation of children and young people means change in an organisation’s culture and requires leadership with courage and clout among staff, elected members, trustees and children and young people themselves. While dedicated staff will be needed to establish and develop good working practices with children and young people, support at a senior and executive level will be essential to champion the cause and build in the structures, systems and resources for maximum impact. As active involvement gets bedded in, leadership style will become increasingly based on partnership and cooperation, among elected members or Trustees, staff, partners and children and young people.
