PARTICIPATION AND CHILD PROTECTION: CONCEPTUALIZATION
Abstract
All children have an important right to participate. This right is especially valuable for children in risk. Social workers have a responsibility to facilitate and secure this. However, participation is not an easy process and can be really challenging. Children can participate in many ways - in matters that affect them personally or those that relate to children in need or to all young citizens. This paper refers to research on all these aspects, drawing particularly on the views of the children themselves. While this paper focuses on children, many of the principles and practices promoting their participation are equally applicable to families and other service users.
