A systematic review of children’s participation in child protection decision‐making: Tokenistic presence or not?

“…Accordingly, some important questions emerge for practitioners, policy-makers and other relevant parties when shifting the theoretical values of children's participation as discussed earlier in the article to practice. Especially, general practice in the child protection system regarding child participation is limited or no child participation (van Bijleveld et al, 2014;Fylkesnes, Taylor, & Iversen, 2018;Husby et al, 2018) and children's voices are not listened to or considered in decision-making (Alfandari, 2017;Caldwell, McConvey, & Collins, 2019;Percy-Smith & Dalrymple, 2018;Woolfson, Heffernan, Paul, & Brown, 2010).…”

Fostering global dialogue: Conceptualisations of children's rights to participation and protection

“…The literature recognises participation as complex (e.g. Caputo, 2017; Seim & Slettebø, 2017) and must account for socio‐cultural (Cahill & Dadvand, 2018; Fylkesnes et al, 2018; Theis, 2007), political (Barilá & Amoroso, 2017) and economic contexts (Theis, 2007). The process generally involves preparation, review and action (Roesch‐Marsh et al., 2017); reciprocal sharing of information, respect and dialogue, and feedback to children (van Bijleveld et al, 2015; Tisdall, 2017).…”

“…Latin American authors tend to frame participation as both relational and intergenerational collective forms of action (Albornoz et al., 2015; Voltarelli, 2018). Numerous studies published in Spanish, Portuguese and English framed children's relationships with adults as crucial (Damiani‐Taraba et al., 2018; Fylkesnes et al., 2018; Goh & Baruch, 2018; Husby et al., 2018; Inchaurrondo et al., 2018; Sanders & Mace, 2006; Seim & Slettebø, 2017; Toros et al., 2018; Voltarelli, 2018). However, these relationships are hindered by children's lack of power in relation to adults (Bennouna et al., 2017; Husby et al., 2018; Lay‐Lisboa & Montañés, 2018; Sancho & Cáceres, 2017) and positioning as outsiders (Alfandari, 2017; Pert et al., 2017).…”

“…English‐language and Latin American articles revealed unique challenges in the implementation of children's rights to participation in child protection (McCafferty, 2017; Ruiz‐Casares et al, 2017; Seim & Slettebø, 2017; Tisdall, 2017). Many referred to barriers and limitations related to children's participation (Evans, 2009; Fylkesnes et al., 2018; Sancho & Cáceres, 2017; Cussiánovich, 2013; Pavez‐Soto, 2012; Toros et al., 2018; van Bijleveld et al., 2015) and the tensions between participation and protection (Bennouna et al., 2017; Cody, 2017; Collins, 2017; Holt, 2018; Sanders & Mace, 2006). These challenges impede on the implementation of children's rights as universal and indivisible.…”

The What, Why and How of Child Participation—A Review of the Conceptualization of “Child Participation” in Child Welfare

“…Nybell (2013) looks for both conceptual clarity and an analytical framework in Honneth's theories, while Warming includes Hart's ladder, Bourdieu's theoretization of power dynamics and Delanty's concept of citizenship identity in her analytical frameworks. She explores the intersection between client child's position, state logics in the form of new governance interests in childhood and children's rights Fylkesnes et al (2018). are theoretically informed by Fraser, identifying barriers and facilitators in normative and economic power structures influencing the ethnic minority of children's opportunity for participation.…”
