Abstract: Looked after children are significantly more likely than other children to go missing. They face significant risk of harm through, for example, exposure to alcohol, drugs and sexual victimisation. While research identifies some factors which may reduce the likelihood of looked after children going missing, it is recognised that a greater understanding of effective practice is needed. The aim of the study was to investigate young people's experiences of going missing from care and to identify the issues that co… Show more

“…Power relationship between adult researchers and children and young people as researchers was a prominent theme across all included studies. Participatory research challenges the status of the adult researcher and shifts the power dynamic (Greco et al 2017;Taylor et al 2014;Törrönen & Vornanen 2014). Some researchers described how the participatory methods themselves were a powerful medium for children and young people.…”

“…Across the included studies there was considerable focus on the practical skills acquisition, training and support of children and young people within participatory research that foster their inclusion (Iwasaki et al 2014;Taylor et al 2014;Törrönen & Vornanen 2014). Keeping language simple and preparing developmentally appropriate training in research design and data analysis are required in some studies (Wernick et al 2014).…”

“…There is a paucity of services for children and young people who run away from home or go missing (Rees et al ., , ; Smeaton, ). Despite the policy rhetoric, children who run away or go missing from home remain a hidden group in child welfare provision yet are known to have significant vulnerabilities (Radford et al ., ; Taylor et al ., ). Half of all local authorities in England did not have a policy for children missing from home compared to 93 per cent that had a policy for children missing from care; only 12 per cent of local authorities had services targeted at young runaways; and less than a third (29%) provided emergency accommodation for young runaways in the local area (Evans et al ., ).…”

“…Opportunities for children to talk confidentially following a running away or missing from home episode have been identified as an important safeguard (Burgess et al ., ; Wade, ). Children need to feel that they are not being judged (Taylor et al ., ). The Statutory Guidance for children who have run away or have been missing recommends the use of Return Interview Assessments for children within 72 hours of returning home (DCSF, ).…”

“…They advocate the return interview assessment as an important opportunity for these vulnerable young people to talk about why they ran away and to identify their support needs. As emphasised in previous research, young people who go missing want to be heard, to be treated with respect, to be able to exercise autonomy and to feel that someone cares (Taylor et al ., ).…”
