ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to explore self-reinforcing process to discuss how the people can take those first steps to enable voice and then work to sustain it and build capacity over time across individuals, communities and settings. When voice practices mature and get more sophisticated, then there is a tendency not to see voice as something that can be switched on and off. To build capacity around voice then the virtuous cycle of voice needs to be acknowledged and cultivated. The process of enquiry, asking questions of what happened, what changed and what did or didn’t work, should be central. By encouraging young children and their families to also view voice from an active position of enquiry facilitates a view of voice as constantly evolving, as something that can be learned about and better understood, whilst also being an experience they can have an active role in developing.
