This paper examines the perspectives of child protection workers (CPWs) (n = 106) on the participation of children in child protection practice in Estonia. The findings indicated that child participation was most related to the term “asking a child’s opinion.” On a theoretical level, CPWs considered the asking of a child’s opinion to be significant in child protection practice in order to make decisions in the child’s best interests. In practice, however, asking a child’s opinion was acknowledged to be dependent on the level of development and age of the child, whether there were any custody disputes, and time factors. The reflections of CPWs indicate a protectionist approach regarding child participation because they discussed the issue of children being vulnerable and how encouraging them to participate might be detrimental to their well-being.

This article addresses two contemporary challenges for the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention: (i) domestic violence and (ii) child participation. It also outlines three components of a global socio-legal policy and research initiative undertaken to address these issues and, where relevant, their intersection. The published literature on these topics, including the children’s objections exception, is explored, as are the ways in which these challenges are addressed within some of the 101 Contracting States to the Convention and through the Guide to Good Practice on Article 13(1)(b) of the Convention. Regard is paid to the data provided by the statistical analysis of applications made under the Convention in 2015 by Lowe and Stephens, and the changes which will occur once the Recast of The European Brussels 11a Regulation comes into operation. The likely impact for 1980 Hague Convention abduction proceedings of the UK having left the European Union at 23.00 GMT on 31 January 2020 is contemplated. Other current international initiatives are discussed, including the development of a child-friendly version of the Convention through The International Association of Child Law Researchers. Training is a key to changing attitudes and upskilling family justice professionals to ensure the Convention operates in a fully child-centric way. This will maintain and strengthen the Convention by keeping it ‘fit for purpose’.

Voice, Decision, Responsibility : Child Participation in the Design of Media Literacy Interventions
Linus Andersson, Martin Danielsson
This study aims to determine the awareness of child participation among individuals from different professions. The descriptive survey model, a quantitative research method, was employed in the study. A total of 480 people who reside in Kâğıthane district of Istanbul province and work in education, law, health, and design, selected by stratified sampling method, voluntarily participated in the study. “The personal information” form created by the researcher and “The Child Participation Awareness Scale” were used as data collection tools. The data were obtained by obtaining permission from the institutions and conducting face-to-face interviews with the individuals. As a result of the research, the level of child participation awareness of individuals in different professions is distributed into design, education, health, and law. Due to the fact that the individuals participating in the research were mostly in auxiliary occupational groups and had low levels of awareness about Children's Rights, the awareness level of occupational groups was found to be different from what was expected. In general, the awareness found in the sub-dimension of "decoration in participation" showed that in today's technological age, children's drawings are used without permission or children are used as decorations in activities.

The quantitative data collection is supplemented with several qualitative parts among subsamples of participants, including setting-specific observations of child participation. These will provide unprecedented insights into the practice of child participation. Whereas children and parents in the home context will be observed during a structured decision-making task, the approach and practices of child participation in court and mediation will be observed directly.
