To access the final edited and published work see http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1473325015578946This small-scale qualitative study explores how children participate in their own child protection/child in need planning within a statutory setting in England. Their experience of participation and the impact that voicing their wishes and feelings had on outcomes are highlighted and discussed against a background of conflicting discourses of statutory safeguarding and empowering participation, barriers to engagement and hearing the child’s voice.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Child protectionChild welfareChildren's servicesArticle1741-3117Qualitative Social Work2024-09-2315
