Gather and respect children’s views

• Children have the right to participate in their communities and have influence on topics that matter to them.
• Conduct ethical research with children to learn about their views and experiences.
• Make sure to get both the guardian’s and the child’s consent to participate.
• Make sure children’s input is implemented in your design.
• Children’s friends, parents, teachers, and communities also care about your product or service, so include them in the process as well.
• Get input from experts in children’s well-being, needs and age specific development, and include up-to-date research from a range of disciplines.
