This paper, based on recently completed research, discusses the issues surrounding the involvement of children in decision-taking in child protection work. A distinction is drawn between a duty to consult and ascertaining the feelings and wishes of the child. In doing so we attempt to display what some of the problems are, with particular reference to adultism, awareness and resources. The paper concludes with some ideas on how such problems might be overcome.
