“…Kromě toho jsou jako prarodičovské rodiny chápány rovněž tzv. neformální rodiny vedené prarodičem (informal grandparentheaded family) (du Preez, Richmond, Marquis 2015). Jedná se o rodiny, kde prarodič pečuje o vnouče bez jakéhokoli vkladu biologických rodičů dítěte, a to se souhlasem rodičů (ale i bez něj), často také bez formálního soudního příkazu (COTA National Seniors 2003;du Preez, Richmond, Marquis 2015).…”

This article deals with the phenomenon of grandfamilies. It sets out to determine what the existing literature reports on the issue of grandparents in the position of surrogate parents, and to introduce the topic of grandparents as it has been examined in international sociological studies published in the past decade, thereby embedding the topic into the sociology of ageing and the sociology of the family. It also identifies key concepts and gaps in research. It employs the scoping review method, and the articles assessed in the scoping review were analysed according to their country of origin, research methods, and the concepts they employed. The articles' research questions, goals, and recommendations for further research were divided into six categories: general characteristics, intergenerational relations, health, culture and ethnicity, wellbeing, and support. The article concludes with a summary of the research that has been done on grandfamilies in the past ten years and with recommendations for future research in this area.

“…Financial strain is frequently identified in the literature as a characteristic experience of kinship carers (du Preez, Richmond, & Marquis, 2015;. The survey and literature review conducted by the Social Policy Research Centre found that adequate financial support for kinship carers would assist grandparents to care for their grandchildren, and that they also need assistance to access what financial supports are available (Brennan et al, 2013).…”

“…While the inclusion of parental voices/perspectives was a planned central feature of the research, the engagement of Elders was a foundational part of this action research project on Aboriginal child development. Elders are deeply engaged with the issues impacting on children and families in their communities not only from the close-knit nature of the community but also because so many are in primary care roles due to circumstances in their families (Du Preez et al., 2017).…”

This paper describes the processes involved in establishing a genuinely collaborative and participatory role for nine Aboriginal Elders in a five-year participatory action research project focused on early child development in the Perth metropolitan area of Western Australia. The project goals are to better inform and align policy and program design with Aboriginal values, world views and concepts of childhood. The Elder’s authority in the design, conduct and outputs of the research are intended to adhere to a decolonising approach, whereby Aboriginal people have power and voice in ways that are aligned to their values and beliefs. Requirements for research that is collaborative, relational, participatory and reflexive are not straightforward or easily achieved, and the process of working with the nine Elders in their roles as Co-researchers has not been without its challenges. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities of working with Aboriginal Elders as Co-researchers and seeks to enhance understanding of the necessity of incorporating an Aboriginal worldview and knowledge framework in this way.
