This toolkit has emerged from years of engaging with children, and in that sense is as participatory in form as the primary subject it deals with. It has emerged from a collaborative learning and action process, a large part of which has been passed down as a rich oral tradition over the years.

There are many people who contributed to this body of knowledge, and we apologise for not being able to list each name separately. Thank you to all the children associated with Bal Adhikar Sangharsh Sangathan (BASS) over the years and their facilitators, who have spent tirne engaging on and furthering child participation processes. Thank you to all the organisations and networks who have shared their knowledge with us over the years and allowed us to contribute to their sessions as well. Thanks to UNICEF for their unstinting support over the years. A special thank you to the current BASS members who have helped us better understand what works and what doesn't work when facilitating child participation processes within the current context we work in. We look forward to taking ahead these efforts in the coming years and improving and learning from child participation endeavours.
