Accordingly, at the very outset of the research process researchers need to engage with critical issues regarding the purpose of the research and the impact that participating in the research may have on children in terms of potential harms and possible benefits.<\/p><p>Assessing potential harms and benefits is not straightforward as these are influenced by a range of factors across the multiple contexts in which research occurs. There can also be divergent opinions about what constitutes harm and benefit, and related issues such as acceptable levels of risk.

If the research topic is sensitive, for example investigations into violence against children or in conflict \/ post-conflict settings, the people being consulted may be perpetrators of violence or abusing positions of power. Similarly, the risks associated with potentially stigmatising information are amplified when local community members are involved with the research, for example as interviewers, interpreters or drivers. Harm can occur when children\u2019s voices are sought only when they match the interests of adult researchers, but are overlooked when they do not. The differences between children\u2019s perspectives and those of adults need to be negotiated in a transparent and fair manner, and the responsibilities for managing conflict appropriately factored into team members\u2019 roles. In co-research, or child- \/ youth-led research, conflicting agendas between children and adults also need to be expected and planned for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9331\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9331\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What guidance can we draw from the UNCRC in relation to harms and benefits? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9331\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa6f4cd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fa6f4cd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9331\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ef6595 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0ef6595\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27f5c3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27f5c3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>No child should be discriminated against on the basis of their sex, race, religion, abilities, or any other social or political\u00a0characteristics, in terms of their participation in research (Article 2).<\/li><li>Researchers, research organisations and governments have a responsibility to do what is best for children and make sure that all children are protected (Article 3).<\/li><li>Children have the right to protection from research that is exploitative, harms them or is bad for their health, education or development (Articles 6, 19, 32 and 36).<\/li><li>Researchers have a responsibility to ensure children have access to advice and support if they are adversely impacted by issues raised in the course of the research process (Article 39).<\/li><li>Research should honour children\u2019s right to express their opinions, by talking, drawing, writing or in any other ways.

Harm may be invisible and elusive, subjectively defined, and complicated by differing viewpoints and short- and longer-term outcomes (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/books-and-book-sections\/the-ethics-of-research-with-children-and-young-people-a-practical-handbook\/\">Alderson &amp; Morrow, 2011 (new edition of the book, 2020)<\/a>), with tensions arising between the underlying ethical considerations. In some studies direct harm may not be anticipated. In others, such as when the project concerns the testing of a new drug or interviewing children about traumatic experiences,\u00a0risk and\/or discomfort for participants is more obvious. Potential benefits can also be hard to define sometimes and difficult to accurately assess as being a result of research participation (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/books-and-book-sections\/the-ethics-of-research-with-children-and-young-people-a-practical-handbook\/\">Alderson &amp; Morrow, 2011 (new edition of the book, 2020)<\/a>).<\/p><p>A best-outcomes, consequentialist approach can be applied to assessing and reducing harm and promoting benefits. In this approach, actions are considered right or wrong depending on the nature of their consequences (Gallagher, 2009 (chapter in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/books-and-book-sections\/researching-with-children-and-young-people-2\/\">Tisdall, Davis &amp; Gallagher, 2011<\/a>). Accordingly, decisions in research may be guided by what are the best expected outcomes, with the anticipated benefits needing to be bigger, and more likely to occur, than any possible negative consequences. This can be interpreted as the right actions being those that result in the greatest overall good for the greatest number of people. An additional factor in the equation is the harm that may occur if the research is not done.<\/p><p>However, conflict can arise with this approach between the \u2018greatest good for the greatest number\u2019 and the consequences for individual children participating in the research. From a rights-based perspective, particularly the\u00a0importance of considering the best interests of the child (UNCRC Article 3.1) and their protection from all forms of violence (UNCRC Article 19), researchers have a responsibility to ensure that no harm is done to individual children participating in the research, as well as attending to the long-term and\/or larger good for children as social groups.<\/p><p>A further challenge to applying the best-outcomes approach lies in the reality that there may be both positive and negative consequences for the individual child of participating in research. For example, taking part in a research interview may have retaliatory and negative effects for the child, while the future intended outcome, such as access to a service or heightened attention to a severe social problem, could be deemed positive. When considering harms and benefits, then, it is critically important not only to consider the <em>outcomes<\/em> of research but also the research <em>process<\/em>, itself. This topic is addressed in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/case-studies\/interviewing-children-on-sensitive-issues-around-violence-do-survey-instruments-and-processes-on-violence-against-children-provide-adequate-measures-to-protect-children-aged-13-17-years-by-mary-cath\/\">Mary Catherine Maternowska\u2019s case study<\/a>\u00a0of a survey on violence against children, undertaken with participants aged 13 to 17 years.<\/p><p>A range of tools and frameworks are collated in the ERIC library, which can assist with ethical decision-making. However, researchers and research stakeholders still need to carefully identify and assess the potential harms and benefits in relation to their own research and particular research context. The reflexive questions above and the <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/reflexive-tool\/\">ERIC Reflexive Tool<\/a> can guide this process.<\/p><p>In some ways, individual children may be best placed to assess any risks to themselves, which is one of the reasons why seeking children&#8217;s own informed consent is so important (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/so-you-want-to-involve-children-in-research-a-toolkit-supporting-childrens-meaningful-and-ethical-participation-in-research-relating-to-violence-against-children\/\">Laws &amp; Mann, 2004<\/a>; see also the <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/informed-consent\/\">ERIC Informed Consent Guidance page<\/a>). Researchers, though, are likely to have a greater appreciation of the potential wider and long-term implications of research participation. Therefore, researchers have increased responsibility to assess risks of this nature in relation to children&#8217;s involvement in research. Seeking local or specialised advice is important, particularly when working in different cultural contexts or working with particular groups of children, in order to have a better understanding of the potential risks.\u00a0<a class=\"glossaryLink\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-image: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: #000000 !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.02, 0.54, 0.58, 1) 0s; border-color: initial initial #000000 initial; border-style: initial initial dotted initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/glossary\/researcher\/\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Researcher&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;ERIC has been developed to support all researchers, individuals and organisations who are involved in research that is undertaken with, or potentially impacts on, children.

Reflecting on ethical issues from the very outset of the project, as well as throughout its implementation is key. The <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/reflexive-tool\/\">ERIC Reflexive Tool<\/a> can help with this process. Once identified, researchers can make efforts to minimise or eliminate any potential risks of harm, distress or discomfort.<\/p><p>Throughout the research process, researchers need to remain alert to situated ethics &#8211; ethical issues that arise in the context of research relationships, personalities, changing experiences or the situational context of the research. As far as possible, though, researchers should be pre-emptive in engaging with ethics.<\/p><p>For example, certain geographical locations or socio-political contexts may carry specific risks which researchers can develop strategies to manage. In areas where armed conflict or peace-building are occurring, this might include researchers ensuring that children do not travel alone, late at night or in unsafe areas where there are landmines or other dangers (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/ethical-guidelines-for-ethical-meaningful-and-inclusive-childrens-participation-practice\/\">Feinstein &amp; O\u2019Kane, 2008<\/a>).<\/p><p>When the potential harm is less clearly obvious or easily resolved, reflection on the multiple possibilities requires knowledge of the local context, the research process and\/or topic. There may be consequences for children when they are involved in research which is consciousness-raising. Such consequences may occur, for example, where the research raises awareness of labour rights for children in situations where the child\u2019s employment is a critical source of sustenance for the family. In another example, there may be opportunity costs if children are removed from class to be involved in school-based research.<\/p><p>As well as knowledge of the local context, it is critically important that researchers are knowledgeable in relation to the characteristics of the sample population with whom they are conducting the research. For example, if children from minority groups are involved in the research then researchers (depending on their own associations) may need to consult appropriately within those communities in order to identify potential harms or adverse consequences. Similarly, if the research involves children with particular disabilities it would be essential to identify potential harms to ensure children\u2019s equitable access to research participation. Reflecting on the possibilities can help prevent or mitigate damaging follow-on consequences and ensure that researchers have information or referral sources on hand if required.<\/p><p>Research methods can contribute to minimising or exacerbating harm. In order to do no harm it is vital that the research methods are scientific and reliable. This underscores researchers\u2019 obligation to ensure that children\u2019s views are accurately reported. It can be argued that unsound designs or inadequate sampling methods are unethical, since they take up time and effort but will not produce satisfactory results or because they may unintentionally lead to the exclusion of groups of children. Reliable methods often include at least two steps in the data collection process with adjustment of the tools and\/or the research plans in between; triangulation; and ensuring that the research tools chosen are well-validated and have been adapted to match the capacities of the children involved as well as the issues being researched. Large scale surveys, especially when children are not involved in the development of the survey questionnaire, and methods such as direct interviews and focus group discussions, may not be tools that are the most adequate or appropriate in research with young children. \u00a0<\/p><p>The predictability of risks may differ in different research paradigms. For example, in biomedical research, it may be necessary to develop medicines that are trialled on child samples, as extrapolating adult data to children is inappropriate (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/books-and-book-sections\/clinical-trials-in-children\/\">Yeung, 2007<\/a>). It can be difficult to quantify the risk for participating children and consider these in relation to the benefits of developing medicines for children more generally. If the nature of risks is unable to be predicted reliably, then providing accurate information to children and their caregivers to enable informed consent for clinical trials becomes an essential ethical challenge.<\/p><p>In such biomedical contexts there is also the possibility that previously undetected conditions or abnormalities may be discovered incidentally during the research process. The revelation of such chances and consequences would cause added concern to the child and the parents, and therefore requires great sensitivity. This is discussed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/case-studies\/incidental-brain-findings-in-neuroimaging-research-by-sebastian-lipina\/\">ERIC case study by Sebasti\u00e1n Lipina<\/a>.<\/p><p>The use of the internet and new technology adds another dimension to conceptualising and minimising harm. Children may have unrealistic expectations of privacy, individual information may be more readily accessible, participants can provide false details or maintain fake identities (disguising adult voyeuristic or harmful intent) and the distinction between public and private domains is blurred (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/books-and-book-sections\/the-ethics-of-research-with-children-and-young-people-a-practical-handbook\/\">Alderson &amp; Morrow, 2011 (now updated to a 2020 edition)<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/researching-childrens-experiences-online-across-countries-issues-and-problems-in-methodology\/\">Lobe, Livingstone &amp; Haddon, 2007<\/a>). Certain safety features, as used on websites, can be built into internet-based studies. However, it is essential that these are appropriate to children\u2019s evolving capacities and\/or that such built-in safety features are enabled by default, as evidence shows that children can struggle to make sense of user tools, safety devices, privacy settings and reporting mechanisms (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/final-recommendations-for-policy-methodology-and-research\/\">O\u2019Neill, Livingstone &amp; McLaughlin, 2011<\/a>). Where children are going online via their own laptop, mobile phone, tablet or other handheld device, they may be less open to adult supervision. While this may contribute to children\u2019s privacy from parents or others in the environment during research participation, it also underscores the need for children to be aware and empowered with regard to internet safety risks (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/final-recommendations-for-policy-methodology-and-research\/\">O\u2019Neill et al., 2011<\/a>).<\/p><p>In addition to the importance of identifying potential harms, a further key aspect is the allocation of time and resources to help minimise them. It is absolutely critical that ethical considerations are taken into account in the planning stage of research, itemised in the project budget and factored into the timeline, in order for ethical principles and practices to be implemented throughout each phase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-6052\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-6052\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> How can children's distress during research be eliminated or minimised? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6052\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1110ab4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1110ab4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b257ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b257ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Any research involving children may cause distress and researchers need to be prepared for this. It is especially likely to be an issue when the research topic may be upsetting for children, perhaps because it is a reminder of painful experiences, or when children are particularly vulnerable. This may occur, for example, when children have been abused, maltreated, or are separated from their parents. A fundamental concern in research involving children who have been abused or maltreated is whether they might be seriously disturbed, or even re- traumatised, by the research process. In such studies, researchers can incorporate specific measures into the research design to ensure children\u2019s protection and care, such as ensuring the child has the support of a primary carer, using a child-centred methodological approach (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/journal-articles\/the-ethics-of-involving-children-who-have-been-abused-in-child-abuse-research\/\">Mudaly &amp; Goddard, 2009<\/a>) and incorporating child-friendly <a class=\"glossaryLink\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-image: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: #000000 !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.02, 0.54, 0.58, 1) 0s; border-color: initial initial #000000 initial; border-style: initial initial dotted initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/glossary\/debriefing\/\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Debriefing&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Debriefing refers to the process of sharing information about the research with participants after the data has been collected.

In experimental research designs, debriefing refers more specifically to providing participants with information that was either withheld (such as the nature of experimental conditions) or misinformation that was provided (i.e., deception) as part of the experimental procedure. In such cases, debriefing aims to undo any harm that may have been caused by the deception\/withholding of information.&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-mobile-support=\"0\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\">debriefing<\/a>\u00a0processes.

Sensitive issues for children and young people might relate to sexuality, substance abuse, body image, child abuse\/neglect, family violence, parental separation, death, mental health etc. The level of sensitivity around the topic may vary according to culture, age, gender or other factors. Furthermore, the context of the research \u2013 the location, methods, relationships, process \u2013 can also influence how children feel about being involved in research on different topics. Researchers need to assess and mitigate any threats or harms to the participants, and to themselves, when inquiring into potentially sensitive topics.&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: #ff4400;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Related Terms:&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Harm,Re-traumatisation,Safeguarding&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-mobile-support=\"0\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\">sensitive topics<\/a>\u00a0or situations obviously more likely to cause upset, researchers will not always be aware of topics that may be distressing for individual child participants. Seemingly innocuous questions or situations may trigger strong and unexpected reactions. Children may be caught off-guard emotionally by unintentionally disclosing too much. It is therefore important that researchers know how to respond appropriately in the face of children\u2019s anxiety or distress. Researchers should be prepared in advance for the kind of emotional responses that children may have and seek to differentiate harm from discomfort and\/or research-engendered distress.<\/p><p>Key considerations in pursuing research in the light of risk and harm assessment might include: the expertise and skill of the researcher and members of the research team; the level of supervision and support required from senior researchers and experts in the relevant area; and, the availability of follow-up support for children. Considerations in relation to dealing with distress are discussed in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/case-studies\/dilemmas-of-dealing-with-distress-during-interviews-with-children-by-elsbeth-robson-ruth-evans\/\">ERIC case study by Elsbeth Robson and Ruth Evans<\/a>, as they reflect on interviews conducted with young caregivers in \u00a0HIV contexts in Zimbabwe, Tanzania and in the UK.<\/p><p>It is also important to note that some of the worst psychosocial harm from an interview may not be apparent during or immediately after the interview session. One suggestion is to incorporate a post-interview check-in by someone who is a known, trusted support, familiar with the child\u2019s usual behaviour, and can read the signs and find additional help if needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-6053\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-6053\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What are researchers' responsibilities if children show signs of harm or distress? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6053\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68dbca0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"68dbca0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74af2ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74af2ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Researchers need to ensure that support is available to children, if needed, during and after the research process. An important part of research planning is anticipating potential adverse consequences of involvement in research and ensuring that arrangements are made to address these (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/ethical-approaches-to-gathering-information-from-children-and-adolescents-in-international-settings-guidelines-and-resources\/\">Schenk &amp; Williamson, 2005<\/a>). It may be appropriate, in some studies, for researchers to help equip or support children\u2019s parents or carers to respond to emotional reactions their children may have. Psychosocial support or counselling may be required for children to help them cope with the consequences of recalling distressing experiences or feelings. Other forms of support, such as health or welfare-oriented support services, may be needed to help children address difficulties that become apparent during the research process. Researchers\u2019 responsibilities to do good and to do no harm to research participants requires them to plan for such eventualities. It may be helpful to have explicit protocols for addressing potentially concerning situations, and for making referrals (<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/library\/other-literature\/who-ethical-and-safety-recommendations-for-researching-documenting-and-monitoring-sexual-violence-in-emergencies\/\">WHO, 2011<\/a>).<\/p><p>This will also likely involve developing a list of services that offer support to children and families, that can be referred to and shared.\u00a0This may involve consultation and gathering information within the local community context to ascertain organizations or agencies that are available and suitable to offer skilled support. In some contexts identifying or accessing child-focused services may be impossible for a range of reasons \u2013 support agencies may not have the capacity, they may be geographically removed or be inadequate and likely to cause more harm than good \u2013 in which case alternative strategies will need to be explored (see below).\u00a0<\/p><p>Lastly, the skill and responses of researchers in managing safety concerns are important, and can help children cope emotionally and facilitate transitions to the necessary services. Ideally, research staff should have training in child protection, particularly with regard to recognising and managing concerns and, where possible, work in partnership with experienced researchers and local child protection experts. Ethical supervision allows researchers to discuss concerns, seek guidance and debrief, as well as providing a forum for accountability (this is discussed further in the <a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/responsibilities\/\">Responsibilities page<\/a>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-6054\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"5\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-6054\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What if there are not appropriate follow-up services to refer children or parents to when there are safety concerns? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6054\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b277cd5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b277cd5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f8af99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f8af99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In\u00a0some contexts there may be a complete unavailability of services to afford child protection or attend to psychosocial or mental health consequences.

Children may already be accessing such services and may disclose the inadequacy of these to the researcher. Reporting can also be further complicated in situations in which children are living in the care of the state or a non- government organization and disclose institutionalised punishment or violence from their carers. If children are already receiving care, reporting may put them further at risk.<\/p><p>Research into topics where there is an increased likelihood of children being at risk, such as research with children who are sexually exploited, may be compromised by children not engaging in the research process if they expect such safety concerns to be reported by the researcher. An additional challenge for researchers in some contexts are the legal harms that can arise for children if they were brought to the attention of the authorities. For example, children who are stateless or asylum-seeking and those engaged in criminal practices, can be at risk of arrest, deportation, detention, corporal punishment and attainment of criminal records. One way some researchers manage these concerns is by \u2018raising the reporting bar\u2019 so that only really extreme cases of immediate risk would be reported. This however, must be carefully considered, supported and authorised.<\/p><p>In many cases, researchers may not be aware of what their actions might complicate or precipitate for a child, especially if there is little recourse to effective protective systems. There are no easy answers to these dilemmas, but it is critical that researchers are aware of the possibilities and plan responses in advance of conducting the research. These should take into account the strengths and limitations of the local context, the services available, the child\u2019s evolving capacities and individual situation, and the potential impact on them of reporting safety concerns. It is also possible that researchers stand to learn from children themselves about the potential risks and harms of them being involved in a study. A preliminary discussion with a group of children in a safe environment may elucidate ethical issues that only children perceive, such as bullying or stigmatisation or unwanted attention from public security officials.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-6056\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-6056\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Why is it important to balance children's rights to protection and participation? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6056\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46ab858 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46ab858\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-869392f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"869392f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"1652708173449-95399acc-308d\" class=\"vc_tta-panel vc_active\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>In some research contexts tension exists between protecting children from harm and respecting their right to participate in research.

In addition, children may not be included in research for pragmatic reasons, such as lack of skilled personnel to undertake sensitive research with children and lack of adequate funding. The importance of protecting children from harm is ethically mandated by the philosophical principles of non-maleficence and justice, and reflects children\u2019s rights as expressed in the UNCRC (specifically Articles 3.1, 3.3 and 36).

For example, some children listen best when they are engaged in a tactile manner so having objects or material for them to handle will enable them to listen more fully.

Researchers then have to make difficult decisions related to accountability and advocacy, as discussed in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/case-studies\/dilemmas-at-school-how-and-when-to-support-the-inclusion-of-students-with-disability-by-jude-macarthur\/\">Jude MacArthur\u2019s ERIC case study<\/a>, in which an incident of bullying and exclusion of a child with\u00a0<a class=\"glossaryLink\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-image: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: #000000 !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.02, 0.54, 0.58, 1) 0s; border-color: initial initial #000000 initial; border-style: initial initial dotted initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/childethics.com\/glossary\/disability\/\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Disability&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Disability is a complex umbrella term with many culturally constructed meanings. The United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, defines disability as &amp;quot;long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers, may hinder [a person\u2019s] full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others\u201d. When applied in the context of children with disability, this definition refers to those who have an impairment (e.g. visual, hearing, intellectual, psychosocial, physical) which in combination with personal and environmental barriers (e.g. inaccessible buildings, stigma and negative attitudes, lack of assistive devices) restricts their full participation (e.g. in school, social life). This definition draws heavily upon that proposed by Kyegombe, N., Banks, L.M. and Kelly, S. et al. (2019) in their publication entitled, How to conduct good quality research on violence against children with disabilities: Key ethical, measurement, and research principles, and published in BMC Public Health.It should be noted that there has been an ongoing debate regarding the language used to refer to people and children with disability, with some advocating an identity-first approach (i.e., disabled children) and others a person-first approach (i.e., children with disability or children with disabilities), which is often the preference of self-advocates. These complexities are explored in the ERIC Case Study by Fathimath Shiraani. Throughout the ERIC Resources we use the term \u2018children with disability\u2019, however this does not necessarily reflect the preferred wording of all contributors.&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-mobile-support=\"0\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\">disability<\/a>\u00a0was witnessed.<\/p><p>In RCTs and other experimental designs it is important to maintain random assignment to conditions, so that all children in the sample have equal opportunity to be selected in all conditions. Randomisation should be purely by chance, such as using computerised allocation or random numbers, and should not use any systematic characteristics, such as date of attendance at the clinic or social security numbers. In RCTs, the control group should be given the current best treatment, rather than a placebo, and be offered to go on a wait-list to receive the new treatment\/s after the trial is completed and if the trial shows favourable results.<\/p><p>Children\u2019s involvement in research design, as in child co-research, can be enormously beneficial to the research itself.
