“…Researchers must acknowledge participants' support and willingness to participate in research activities. Hill and Morton (2003) also state that if children are not committed to taking part in research, for whatever reason, they are likely to give a negative response and not engage at all with the question. As a result, it offers a practical justification for making sure that the children taking part in the research have agreed to it in order for the research to proceed.…”

The issue of ethics in research involving children has become a significant concern for researchers. This situation pertains to obtaining consent and conducting recruitment during and after the study, while ensuring the safety and well-being of the children involved. This investigation aims to identify ethical challenges in child studies across different countries. The study explores the application of research ethics in various nations and highlights the ethical predicaments that arise when conducting research with children, specifically concerning upholding their rights. Furthermore, the study uncovers that the interplay of cultural, social, economic, and political contexts can complicate adhering to ethical standards and protocols. Additionally, it notes that power dynamics between children and adults may create an unequal footing for child participants in research. In light of this, the study stresses the importance of considering children’s opinions and involvement, particularly in the context of their education and welfare, to protect their rights. It also underscores the need to prioritize children’s emotional well-being, which can have significant implications for bullying, body image, relationships with friends and family, and other areas that demand high sensitivity.

“…Clearly, while the majority of children would recommend the survey to a friend, we need to ensure that we do not ask questions of children that are too lengthy . Research has shown that if children are not committed to taking part in a survey, for whatever reason, they are likely to give negative responses, or not engage at all with the questions (Morrow 2000;Hill & Morton 2003) . This provides another more pragmatic reason for ensuring that children do give their informed consent to take part in the survey .…”

As the role of children in society becomes more prominent, their participation in research seems set to increase. In this paper we review whether we are getting the ethics of children's research right. We show that, since the late 1980s, children have been treated universally as a special case and that they have been accorded their own special set of human rights (UNCRC), which primarily grants them rights to protection and participation. We go on to argue (with practical examples) that the core MRS research principles of well-being, voluntary informed consent and privacy/confidentiality must be applied to children with particular caution and care. We note that, as research with children grows and as new techniques are developed, we are presented with fresh challenges for keeping children safe and maintaining their trust. We end by presenting the results of a survey that sought children's views on being research participants in a quite sensitive piece of research. We found that children are highly appreciative of being consulted about their lives in general and being asked about their feelings. However we also found that some children can be uncomfortable with some of the issues raised and can feel compelled to answer the questions. We conclude that, while we have good industry codes, ethics evolves with shifting social, political and cultural patterns, and we need to keep challenging ourselves to maintain best practice.
