Justifying children and young people’s involvement in social research: Assessing harm and benefit

Abstract: At a time when children and young people’s involvement in research is increasingly the norm, this article reflects on the importance of a well-reasoned and transparent justification for their inclusion or exclusion. It explores the dilemma of a researcher’s ethical obligation to protect children and young people from harm and at the same time respect their autonomy as social actors and independent rights holders to participate in research of relevance to their lives.

“…40 Arguably, the most important ethical dimension is careful analysis of whether the benefits of young people's participation outweigh potential harms. 38,[40][41][42][43] For example, the commitment to give voice to youth with particular vulnerabilities, such as personal or family experience of mental health issues, needs to be balanced against the risk of causing harm such as by exposing them to distressing information. The practical dimension should include systematic and thorough evaluation of where in the various stages of research a co-production approach is most relevant, and can be conducted in a way that is meaningful and impactful.…”

“…Forskeren har også ansvar for å ikke kreve mer deltakelse og involvering enn barn og unge ønsker, er villige til eller er i stand til, saerlig hvis de er i en vanskelig situasjon. Barn og unge skal ikke føle seg forpliktet til å delta (Kennan & Dolan, 2017). Grundig og tilpasset informasjon (skriftlig og muntlig) er derfor viktig for å sikre deres integritet.…”

“…De får si sin mening, blir lyttet til, og opplever det som meningsfullt å bidra til nyttig kunnskap for barns og unges livsvilkår (Eriksson & Näsman, 2012;Øverlien, 2013). I tillegg kan deltakelse bidra til justering av traumatiske erfaringer (Kennan & Dolan, 2017). Som påpekt innledningsvis, hva som oppleves sensitivt i forskningssammenheng vil vaere kontekstuelt og relasjonelt.…”
