Usually public policy follows from the wishes of adults. 5 In family law, this occurs although virtually all the legislation dealing with families and children begins with a "best interests of the child" premise. 6 Most, if not all,

Staying informed is essential for citizens but not everyone is equipped with the right tools to distinguish scientific facts from opinions, well-founded arguments from sensationalist news. Popularization and outreach should be more focused on transmitting methods, demonstrations, and arguments rather than scientific results. It is important to keep concepts' complexity while doing so and to target young audiences. The journal DECODER offers an outreach journal allowing direct exchange between the classroom and researchers to provide critical tools to young minds. It is a duty of researchers to engage into outreach activities, as providers of new knowledge and advocates of the scientific method.

Child: Care, Health and Development, 2010

Background In the UK there is a growing recognition of the need to include children's accounts in research on paediatric healthcare. This paper seeks to examine ways in which children have been included in health related studies to identify strengths and weaknesses. Methods Key empirical-based studies were identified to exemplify research practices related to three ways of engaging with children in health related research. These three approaches are summarised as research on children, with children, and by children. Results Research on children engages with adult 'authorities' such as parents and medical professionals. This approach allows some access to children including those understood as hard-to-reach: for example, pre-speech infants, or children with complex developmental disabilities. Research with children includes children as respondents to engage directly with their own understandings. This may be achieved alongside adult representatives, or by focusing only on the children themselves. Research by children encourages children to participate in the research process itself. This may occur across any, or indeed, every stage from design to dissemination to enable children to set the agenda themselves. Each of the three approaches has strengths and weaknesses, and involves some form of adult-mediation. Conclusion Inclusion of children's perspectives can be achieved, at varying levels, in each approach (on, with, and by) examined here. Though claims to authority around including children's perspectives may appear to hold more credence when children have directly participated in the research, there may be times when this is neither possible nor appropriate. Researchers are challenged to be open and reflexive about ways in which children are engaged with, incorporated in, and represented across the many stages of research. Whichever approach is taken, ethical issues and notions of equity remain problematic. This point holds particular resonance for ways
