{"product_id":"9781780465258","title":"Children as co-researchers: The need for protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eParticipatory approaches are becoming increasingly popular in research involving children. A growing trend is research by children where researchers engage or employ children as co-researchers or primary researchers. Caroline Bradbury-Jones explores the ethical, methodological, practical and protection issues associated with this participatory approach and provides a range of practical solutions to these issues. Among the key issues that are discussed are those of assessing children’s competence; ensuring sufficient preparation; the balancing of insider\/outsider perspectives; the need for appropriate remuneration; overcoming power differentials between children and adults and the safeguarding of the children working as co-researchers. The author’s pragmatic approach and the solutions proposed to overcome the issues raised by such projects will assist researchers who engage with children as co-researchers to overcome the multiplicity of protection issues that are inherent within this participatory approach. As such it is a valuable resource for postgraduate students and academic staff from a range of disciplines, particularly health, social care and education who conduct research with children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dunedin Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300688806128,"sku":"9781780465258","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780465258_p0.jpg?v=1763713005","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780465258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
