This article examines children's agency in their interactions with social workers during statutory encounters in a child protection context. It draws from a UK wide ethnographic study. It finds that much of social workers' responses to children's agency in this context are best understood as a form of 'containment'. In doing so, it offers an original and significant contribution to the theoretical understanding of children's agency, as well as its application in social work practice.

“…Children are the center of child welfare and protection systems, and as such, their views are essential to understanding and evaluate system outcomes. However, for several reasons, children's participation in decision making in these contexts continues to be scarce and often merely formal or instrumental (Collins, 2017;Vis & Thomas, 2009). Several studies have been conducted in the field of child protection, in which children experience a lack of meaningful participation in decisions that are most important to them.…”

Too Vulnerable to Participate? Challenges for Meaningful Participation in Research With Children in Alternative Care and Adoption

In recent years, a significant amount of research has been conducted with children from a rights perspective, especially concerning the right to be heard and participate. However, children living in alternative care and adoption have often been excluded from participating in research because they are viewed as vulnerable children who lack agency and also due to an adult-centric perspective of protection. In this article, we challenge this idea under the view that participation is a main component of protection, children are experts in their own experiences, and their views should be considered through participative research design and methods. Particular challenges that protection contexts impose for research are analyzed and several ways in which these challenges can be faced are outlined. We provide principles and examples that can be implemented to ensure that children who live in alternative care or adoption have the right as any child to be informed, be listened to, and have their views considered regarding topics that affect them.

“…Çocuk katılımı, çocuğun yetkinliğinin ve hassasiyetinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını (Sinclair, 2004), çocuğun sağlıklı güven ilişkileri kurmasını (Lyle ve Hendley, 2010), özgüven ve benlik saygısı geliştirmesini (Collins, 2017), aidiyet duygusunun ve iletişim becerilerinin desteklenmesini (Mallika ve Gibbs, 2014), inisiyatif almasını, yaratıcılığının gelişmesini, yetenek ve becerilerini tam potansiyelle gerçekleştirmesini, bilgi edinmesini ve bilgiye dayalı kararlar almasını, çoğulculuğu deneyimlemesini ve barış içinde bir arada yaşamayı öğrenmesini (Erbay, 2016, s. 71) sağlar. Lansdown (2001), katılım hakkı sayesinde aile içerisinde, okulda ve toplumda daha fazla söz sahibi olan çocukların, kendilerine olan güvenlerinin arttığını, başkalarına saygı duymayı öğrendiklerini, bilişsel yeteneklerinin ve sosyal becerilerinin geliştiğini belirtmektedir.…”
