Why is it important?

It is important for disadvantaged and marginalised children to be heard in research in order to inform policy and practice that affects their lives. Reseachers need to find ways to overcome ethical barriers to accessing children so they are given the chance to take part in research. The paper provides recommendations for how child researchers can work more effectively with social services engaged in the lives of these groups of children.
