You could say "empowering". It's a bit of a cliché, but it fits.
philgoddard Oct 31, 2020:
I think it may mean agency in the sense of children being consulted about what they want to happen. Is this what the article says?

Selected

ways of engaging > children and young people in the protection policies

Despite the agency procedures 'offiical' translation, I think Phil G's idea of involvement and Claudia's ref. to 'how they should engage with children or young people makes the scenario clearer.

Also compare the Spanglish of 'modalities of participation' in the first weblink.

As mentioned before, creeping linguistic interference means that there are certain British interpreters and translators, for instance in the UK, Mexico and Spain, who are using the term of modalities in their everyday 'English' speech ins the same way as an inhouse English Barrister in our Madrid law office kept wiriting about 'obtention' of planning permission.

Yoiu're right. I had been teetering on 'intermediation'..
agree philgoddard : I should have had the courage of my convictions - I think this is definitely right. "Potenciar la voz y la agencia de los niños y jóvenes" http://cuidar.rdi.uoc.edu/?page_id=1312

Thanks. Well, it's a shame I 'mindlessly' had to plagiarise or lift your basic idea.

Agency procedures

Hi! All the documents I read about this topic talked about procedures and policies to protect children and young people.
For example, "Child protection policies and procedures in place that are appropriate for the context" or "The purpose of this policy and associated procedures is to provide clarity to ALL on how they should engage with children or young people". In the online reference that I provided, if you press ctrl+f and write "procedure", you can see how many times they talk about agency's procedure.
I hope it helps.
In the
Example sentence:

"The agency’s procedure is in line with Government guidance and requirements, including the duty to refer information to statutory bodies. It is known to staff, volunteers, prospective adopters and children."
