A Review of the National Participation Standards Charter and Kitemark for children and young people
Independent review for the Welsh Government (a desk review of schemes in other countries plus 26 interviews, mostly with local authorities) finding the Charter and Kitemark lent participation credibility and prompted self-reflection, but take-up is low, awareness rarely reaches beyond children's and youth services, and monitoring of impact is weak and inconsistent. The Kitemark has been paused since 2023.
