项目摘要

Kinship care is the caring arrangement in the family constellation for children who cannot remain with birth parents. My PhD research was the first to solely focus on the views of children living in kinship care in England and the first to combine critical realism with dialogical participation. It evidenced children's views as vital for research, policy, and practice - particularly for kinship care, where family lives involve multiple, multifaceted, ambivalent relationships. Child participation must take a relational, dialogical, and multidisciplinary approach. Through international sharing of expertise across disciplines, the Fellowship will develop new insights for the effective inclusion of child voice(s) in kinship care and other child welfare contexts.My research and knowledge exchange activities to date have informed academic, policy, practice, and public debate, but have also highlighted three persistent concerns:- The value of creating space for children to talk about family is insufficiently realised in policy and practice, especially in child welfare contexts shaped by anxieties around vulnerability.- Child welfare debates about risk and care still lack nuance, and policy and practice must better align to the lived realities of childhood.- The complexities of childhood are obscured by monological, either/or, thinking.Through interconnected work strands, my Fellowship will address these concerns by:Promoting the value of child voice Collaborating with the British Association of Social Work, I will devise written and video kinship care practice guidance - coproduced by children, and also continue to promote the value of children's views through podcasts, briefings for policymakers, press releases, and practitioner forums.My thesis will be reshaped into a Policy Press book reaffirming the importance of attending to children's insights given international interest in kinship care and likely reforms to UK policy and practice. The book ensures the legacy and accessibility of the PhD - and other related research - for a wide audience, including practitioners and families.Two further journal publications will link learning from the PhD and other Fellowship activities. They will explore intersections between childhood studies and social work to enhance child participation in research, policy, and practice.A research visit to NOVA (OsloMet) and UiT in Norway will connect me with research leaders in innovative methods of child participation and kinship care. Through workshops, presentations, roundtable discussions, and one-to-one meetings, we will share learning across national and disciplinary boundaries and explore potential further collaborations. These activities will enhance my research capabilities and illuminate the critical intersection of research, policy, and practice across contexts.Promoting nuanced debate on risk and (kinship) careIncreasing my publication record and other outputs whilst gaining international interdisciplinary perspectives on child participation provides a robust foundation for more nuanced conversations about risk by ensuring children's insights - including on the importance of safety - are the starting point. This work will also be driven by interdisciplinary guidance from my mentors. Psychologist Prof Boddy applies a critical family studies lens in her child welfare research and brings expertise in child participation. Prof Gupta is an internationally renowned expert in critical social work.Challenging monological thinkingThe publications, study visit, mentors, and collaborative dissemination activities will continue to build on the PhD's theoretical on the value of dialogical critical realist approaches and further the interrogation of their effectiveness. The learning will also allow the transfer of new thinking for child participation and kinship care policy and practice to research, policy and practice concerned with other family arrangments.

亲情照顾是在家庭星座中为不能与亲生父母在一起的孩子所做的照顾安排。我的博士研究是英国第一个只关注亲情照料儿童观点的研究，也是第一个将批判现实主义与对话参与相结合的研究。它证明了儿童的观点对研究、政策和实践至关重要--特别是对亲情护理来说，因为家庭生活涉及多方面、矛盾的关系。儿童参与必须采取关系、对话和多学科的方法。通过跨学科的国际专业知识共享，该研究金将为有效地将儿童声音(S)纳入亲情照料和其他儿童福利领域提供新的见解。到目前为止，我的研究和知识交流活动为学术、政策、实践和公共辩论提供了信息，但也突出了三个持续存在的问题：-在政策和实践中，没有充分认识到为儿童谈论家庭创造空间的价值，特别是在因对脆弱性的焦虑而形成的儿童福利背景下。-关于风险和护理的儿童福利辩论仍然缺乏细微差别，政策和实践必须更好地与儿童的生活现实保持一致。-儿童的复杂性被单调的、要么或要么掩盖了思考。通过相互关联的工作线索，我的奖学金将通过以下方式解决这些问题：促进儿童声音的价值与英国社会工作协会合作，我将设计由儿童共同制作的书面和视频亲情关怀实践指南，并通过播客、政策制定者简报、新闻稿和从业者论坛继续宣传儿童观点的价值。我的论文将被重塑为政策出版社的一本书，重申鉴于国际上对亲情关怀的关注以及英国政策和实践可能的改革，关注儿童洞察力的重要性。这本书确保了博士和其他相关研究的遗产和可获得性，面向包括从业者和家庭在内的广泛受众。另外两份期刊出版物将把从博士和其他奖学金活动中学习联系起来。他们将探索儿童研究和社会工作之间的交叉，以加强儿童在研究、政策和实践中的参与。对挪威Nova(OsloMet)和UiT的研究访问将使我在儿童参与和亲属照顾的创新方法方面与研究领导人建立联系。通过研讨会、演讲、圆桌讨论和一对一会议，我们将分享跨越国家和学科界限的学习，并探索潜在的进一步合作。这些活动将增强我的研究能力，并阐明研究、政策和实践在不同背景下的关键交叉。推动关于风险和(亲属)护理的微妙辩论增加我的出版记录和其他产出，同时获得关于儿童参与的国际跨学科视角，通过确保儿童的洞察力-包括安全的重要性-为更微妙的风险对话提供坚实的基础。这项工作也将在我的导师们的跨学科指导下进行。心理学家博迪教授在她的儿童福利研究中运用了批判性的家庭研究视角，并带来了儿童参与方面的专业知识。古普塔教授是国际知名的批判性社会工作专家。挑战一元论思考这些出版物、学习访问、导师和合作传播活动将继续建立在博士基于对话式批判性现实主义方法价值的理论基础上，并进一步询问其有效性。学习还将允许将儿童参与和亲属照顾政策和实践的新思维转移到与其他家庭安排有关的研究、政策和实践中。
