The aim and purpose
The Who’s in the room process process enables all end users to have their needs met as part of an integrated approach, i.e., incorporating tech and care models. This means that all users engage in a cooperative inquiry design led approach together.
Everyone is treated equally as partner in the design process.
The sessions incorporate participatory design, and methods based on child-computer interaction. Consultancy is built on lived experience and rooted in the digitally native realities of children and young people today.
Evidenced based that the more children and young people are included in co-design, the greater the safety elements of technology are embedded in the design.
