In 2018, with the support of a grant from The Department of Children and Youth Affairs, The Ark Children’s Council commissioned child participation experts, Dr. Deirdre Horgan and Dr. Shirley Martin and Dr Annie Cummins-McNamara (University College Cork) to evaluate the operation and impact of the Children’s Council. The aim of this research was twofold. We were keen to find better methods of incorporating the Children’s Council into the overall governance structure of the organisation. Secondly, we wanted to share our challenges and learning with others who are developing their own child consultation practices. It is our hope that this research will be of benefit to our colleagues in the arts and in education and that it can contribute to a wider body of work in recognising children’s right to be heard.
