儿童和青年参与集体决策已成为一项受欢迎的政策和做法。然而,挑战依然存在,如象征性、影响有限和不可持续性。本文探讨如何应对这些挑战,实现儿童和青年的参与,特别是在儿童保护方面。在概念上,本文探讨了三个流行的想法-脆弱性,社会责任和共同生产。每一个想法都可能暗示着国家和服务用户之间的关系得到了修改和更大的解放。实际上,这篇文章将这些想法与儿童和青年参与的例子相匹配。文章的结论是,声称脆弱性的普遍性是有说服力的,但是,概念化未能解决成人的权力。社会问责解决了权力问题,但不足以解决当前的参与挑战。共同制作最有潜力,参与的例子是有意义的、有效的和可持续的。
Children and young people’s participation in collective decision-making has become a popular policy and practice concern. Yet challenges persist, such as tokenism, limited impact and unsustainability. This article examines ways to address these challenges and realise children and young people’s participation, particularly in child protection contexts. Conceptually, the article investigates three popular ideas – vulnerability, social accountability and co-production. Each idea potentially suggests revised and more emancipatory relationships between the state and service users. Practically, the article matches these ideas to examples of children and young people’s participation. The article concludes that claims to vulnerability’s universality are persuasive; however, conceptualisations fail to address adult power. Social accountability addresses power, but insufficiently addresses the current challenges of participation. Co-production has the most potential, with participation examples that have been meaningful, effective and sustainable.
