Abstract
Barnardos supports children and families across Ireland through 42 centres, addressing issues such as education, health, child protection, poverty, and housing. The organisation’s advocacy team works to influence government policies and laws to improve outcomes for children, emphasizing the importance of including children’s voices in decision-making. In line with national strategies and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Barnardos aims to embed children and young people’s participation in advocacy work. In 2017, a dedicated Advocacy Officer was appointed, shifting the focus to more project-led, child-centred advocacy. Initiatives like Amplifying Voices and the Glór na nÓg project, funded by the QCBI Innovation Fund, were developed to pilot effective models of children’s participation. Glór na nÓg involves workshops with children in urban and rural settings, aiming to develop, test, and evaluate engagement methods. The project’s goal is to create a sustainable policy for embedding children’s voices in all Barnardos advocacy efforts.
