A good resources that covers; in quite a high level of detail; the process of carrying out research on Children and Young People.
As it is intended as an advanced level of study it does require some basic understanding of research practice and terminology and uses a high level of English language throughout the text. There are some excellent resources for groups looking to carry out research, as well as students who are looking to develop their own skills within the field.
There are a number of very detailed case studies that look to cover a wide range of areas however the high level of study, as well as the academic subject area make this a little inaccessable for Foundation Degree level and therefore would be better as a supporting resource. -- Ms GILLIAN WAKEMAN * drupal *
A real source for anyone who is considering to do research with children. It covers all the topics that the researcher would need to answer before gaining ethical approval for ones research and also conseptual issues that lead research process.
