Given that child participation has various definitions and is applied to a variety of attitudes, values and behaviours, it will adopt a case-study approach. Firstly, it will draw upon an LA-funded project that investigated the participation of vulnerable children and young people (CYP) in the integrated frontline service provision they received. Secondly, it will to examine core principles underpinning the United Nations Convention (1989: Article 12), in order to examine statutory views of participation rights. By these means, the chapter will seek to investigate CYPs’ exercise of participation rights as well as attempt to identify factors that might influence the exercise of participation. In so doing, the chapter will consider whether or not the statutory view provides the conditions for exercised rights.

The issues of children’s voice and children’s participation were central to the evaluation design, and the article critically reflects on the creative techniques used to achieve this. The article concludes that, although difficulties were encountered in the evaluation, the use of multiple, creative methods in researching children’s experiences is a valuable approach that allows the collection of rich data. It also offers complementary insights and understandings that may be difficult to access through reliance on more traditional methods of data collection.
