The text promotes the nature of participative working with children and young people. The nature of understanding cooperation and reducing limitations in terms of access is a valuable pre-requisite in professional practice with children and young people across the professions.
The potential impact of social justice and social change from children and young people themselves is an exciting prospect and the text explores the ethics, value and sustainability of effective future work with children and young people.

This is a good book for introducing students to the use of participatory methods for children and will work well as a supplemental text for my advanced qualitative methods module.

This is an excellent book which I have used to teach both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. This is one of the best books to use in teaching Research with Children and Young people. It addresses ethical issues that no other book addresses effectively.

To do excellent participatory research, especially with children, is always a great challenge. The experienced authors of this book wrote a great resource to guide researchers through the challenges and complexities of this type of research. The excellent case studies and much practical advice is very valuable, especially for unexperienced researchers. It also creates an awareness of all the ethical issues involved in doing research with children. Reading this book will empower students to undertake participatory research with children with the necessary confidence.
