The UNCRC supports children’s rights to give consent, to be consulted & to complain

But often adult myths about their capacity get in the way

@jochamberlain.bsky.social‬ and I researched with children what they think of this and what might help

Some resulting resources - feel free to use! 🧵 1/4

Following on from our very popular December webinar on 'the invisible labour of #PublicInvolvement' registrations are now open for the second webinar in the series, on Emotions in #PPI, led by colleagues from @penarc.bsky.social.
Come join us!

@arceastofengland.bsky.social @elspethma.bsky.social
What role do emotions play in public involvement? To what extent is PPI labour emotional labour? Join us to explore how we can recognise, value and make space for this kind of labour in research.
