The study seeks to explore the multi-dimensional use of space in Scotland's first Barnahus for children who are victims and witnesses of violence. The ambition of the Barnahus model is transformational change for children, young people and their families when they experience child protection and justice processes. Children and young people who have been maltreated or witnessed violence are interviewed and medically examined for forensic purposes, comprehensively assessed and receive recovery services from a multidisciplinary team of professionals comprising of police officers, social workers, paediatricians, therapists and family support practitioners 'under one roof'. The model has a focus on creating an atmosphere of ease and safety for children, without it becoming a play space (Stefansen, 2017). There is a dearth of research on the use of space for multi professional teamwork with children who are victims and witnesses of violence (ibid.). Drawing on childhood studies theoretical discourses on voice, power, agency, and space, this study will explore the child's right to express their views, experiences and wishes, and the need for these to be heard in a way which is useful for a range of purposes, including wider public protection. This will be a qualitative study undertaken with Children 1st, a national children's charity who is leading on the development of Barnahus in Scotland. This study will include, visual arts activities, ethnographic observations of the house and gardens, focus groups and semi structured interviews with key individuals who are involved in Barnahus (e.g. children, parents and carers, multidisciplinary professional team members etc). This study will draw on the academic, research and professional literature in relation to work with children who are witness to or victims of abuse and the research and design will be informed by participatory research methodology. The findings will contribute to a growing body of international evidence regarding children and families' experiences with social welfare and legal systems and influence the national development of Scotland's Barnahus model.

这项研究旨在探索苏格兰第一部《巴纳胡斯》中儿童作为暴力受害者和目击者的空间的多维使用。Barnahus模式的雄心是在儿童、年轻人及其家庭经历儿童保护和司法程序时为他们带来变革性的变化。对遭受虐待或目睹暴力的儿童和年轻人进行面谈和医学检查，以便进行法医鉴定，全面评估并接受由警察、社会工作者、儿科医生、治疗师和家庭支助从业者组成的多学科专业团队提供的康复服务。该模式的重点是为儿童创造一个轻松和安全的氛围，而不是成为一个游戏空间(Stefansen，2017)。缺乏关于利用空间与作为暴力受害者和目击者的儿童进行多专业团队合作的研究(同上)。这项研究借鉴了儿童研究中关于声音、权力、代理和空间的理论论述，将探索儿童表达他们的观点、经历和愿望的权利，以及以一种对包括更广泛的公共保护在内的一系列目的有用的方式听取这些意见的必要性。这将是与儿童第一组织进行的一项定性研究，该组织是一家全国性的儿童慈善机构，在苏格兰领导着Barnahus的发展。这项研究将包括视觉艺术活动、对房屋和花园的人种学观察、焦点小组和与Barnahus有关的关键个人(例如儿童、父母和照顾者、多学科专业团队成员等)的半结构化访谈。这项研究将借鉴与虐待目击者或受害者的儿童有关的学术、研究和专业文献，研究和设计将采用参与式研究方法。这些发现将有助于提供越来越多的关于儿童和家庭在社会福利和法律制度方面的经验的国际证据，并影响苏格兰Barnahus模式的国家发展。
