Championing Choice—Lessons Learned from Children and Young People About Research and Their Involvement

Abstract: Over the past 5 years researchers from the Institute of Child Protection Studies have talked with vulnerable children and young people in an attempt to better understand their lives, their perceptions and how they might be better supported around issues such as homelessness, parental drug and alcohol use, caring, juvenile justice and out of home care. Researchers have confronted a myriad of challenges in recruiting, meaningfully engaging and supporting the participation of children with diverse needs and prefe… Show more

“…Peer research methodology was employed because the research team recognised that the 'insider' knowledge of the peer researchers and their assistance in framing the research questions and in interpreting the data may facilitate enhanced understanding of the subject (Cleaver, 2001;Moore et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2002).…”

“…Historically, we should note that children's participation in welfare has been limited (Lansdown ; Vis & Thomas ) although this is changing (Fern & Kristinsdottiri ) and ‘Children's voices also have potency in service development’ (Moore et al . , p. 254).

“…The team at the Institute have conducted research with and for children (who we define as those aged 0-12 years of age) and young people (aged 12-25) to better understand their lives, how they experience and perceive particular experiences and how they might be better supported by services. We have worked with children and young people to develop methodologies that attempt to sensitively and appropriately elicit their views and experiences on issues such as homelessness, parental drug and alcohol use, young caring, juvenile justice, out of home care and separation and divorce (Moore, Saunders, & McArthur, 2011). Influenced by the Childhood Studies movement we have attempted to reflect child centred values, philosophies and approaches.…”
