Do the children have to attend?
It is important to hear the 'child's voice' but if for
any reason they can't attend then the facilitator will explore other ways for
the child/ren to be involved, for example through an advocate. Sometimes
child/ren share pictures, letters, or videos to the meeting. Your child’s
participation will depend on the child’s age and understanding.
