Children Know so Many Things Even We Didn’t Know

This report is about the use of consultations with children – with girls and boys of different ages and from different backgrounds - as a means of developing good practice in community work, social work and development work. It is based on work done by the Child
Protection Programme Team of Save the Children in Myanmar. The process and findings from the consultation have been extremely important for the learning of adult staff and for the future development of programme work. This report aims to document how and why these consultations were carried out. This practice of children’sconsultations and participation can be adapted for, used in, and benefit a wide range of programmes in different contexts.
