The prevailing ethical framework for research with children is often built on outdated, adult-centric assumptions, viewing the child as a passive object and compromising genuine engagement for the sake of control and protection. To generate richer, more meaningful research, a fundamental reform based on a relational model is required. Our book, The Ethics of Unlocking Research With Children provides innovative solutions that recognises children's competence as "beings" and prioritises the meaning of their involvement over adult-centric risk assessment.

Rooted in the core belief that the current, adult-centric ethical framework is holding us back, this essential collection explores how we can move past outdated assumptions to truly recognize the child as an active meaning-maker in the research process
