'They sat and actually listened to what we think about the care system': the use of participation, consultation, peer research and co-production to raise the voices of young people in and leaving care in England

Dixon, Ward & Blower, University of York · 2019 · Academic paper

Reflective paper charting how work with young people in and leaving care in England has moved from research participation through consultation and peer research to co-production. Draws mainly on the authors' own research and evaluations, including of New Belongings and the House Project, and notes how young people's words helped make the case for the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000.
