23 November

Takeover Day gives children and young people the chance to work with adults for the day and be involved in decision-making.

Children benefit from the opportunity to experience the world of work and make their voices heard, while adults and organisations gain a fresh

perspective on what they do.

We hope this will help break down barriers between generations and encourage children's active involvement in their communities
