Abstract Participatory communication strategies have become a cornerstone in the development and strengthening of child care systems, especially in children's homes. These strategies involve engaging children, caregivers, staff, and other stakeholders in meaningful dialogue and decision-making processes. This review explores the existing literature on the implementation and impact of participatory communication in the care structure, procedures, and concerns within children's homes.
This literature review explores the role of participatory communication strategies in strengthening child care systems, particularly focusing on the care structure, procedures, and concerns within children's homes. Grounded in theories of participatory development and communication for social change, the review highlights the importance of involving children, caregivers, and other stakeholders in meaningful dialogue and decision-making processes. Key areas examined include the organizational structure of children's homes, the role of caregivers, decision-making procedures, and feedback mechanisms. The review also addresses significant concerns such as power imbalances, cultural sensitivity, and the challenges of measuring the impact of participatory strategies. Findings indicate that participatory communication can lead to more inclusive and responsive care environments, enhancing children's sense of agency and responsibility. However, successful implementation requires addressing existing power dynamics, ensuring cultural appropriateness, and developing effective methods for impact assessment. This review underscores the potential of participatory communication to transform child care systems and improve outcomes for children in care.
