Join us on Friday 12 November

Takeover Day is a national event offering children and young people across the country the chance to work alongside adults and get involved in decision-making in a wide range of organisations. Everyone can be part of it!

Now in its fourth year, the event has grown from strength to strength since it was launched. Last year, around 30,000 children and young people worked with hundreds of organisations, including businesses, schools, police and fire services, newspapers, banks, TV and radio stations, charities, local councils, MPs, hospitals and government departments.

This year we want to encourage 40,000 children and young people to show adults what they can do. We also want more businesses and organisations to benefit from a fresh perspective on their work and to celebrate the positive contribution children and young people make to society.

Children and young people

If you are a child or young person you can download our Takeover Day information pack, and upload ideas, pictures, Powerpoints and comments about what you've got planned here.

Organisations

Whether you already involve children and young people in your work, or want to start doing so, Takeover Day can be organised to suit the needs of your organisation. Our Takeover Day guidance packs can be downloaded below, where you can also download the Takeover Day logo and an email banner to tell people that you're taking part.
