The problem
Intervention: Social workers engage in collaborative processes with children through everyday actions, actively asking questions and allowing children to practice participation and influence
Who it was tested with: Children aged 7–16 receiving family interventions from Swedish child and family welfare services.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The results suggest that child participation is a collaborative process in which both the child and the FSW have an active role to play. Participation is constructed through a series of seemingly small, everyday actions in the meeting between the child and the FSW." The study documents how practitioners construct child participation through practice but cannot establish causality or measure impact on child welfare outcomes.
Qualitative study based on interviews without measurement of participation outcomes or comparison groups; small sample size; Swedish context only; does not quantify changes in service quality or child outcomes.
