Förlagets beskrivning
When the Child Support Act was fist introduced in 1993, the government
claimed that it had been designed to put the needs of children first. However,
until now no research has been undertaken into children's experiences under the
Act or their opinions on the principles underpinning it. This is a small-scale study into children's views on family relationships,
financial arrangements and parental obligations within the context of the Child
Support Act. Based on interviews with children aged 10 to 17 living in lone
mother households, the report documents the children's opinions on the
underlying principles of the Act with regard to financial and other
responsibilities. It also provides an overview of the ethics and methodology of interviewing
children on sensitive issues, a question that currently confronts many
researchers and practitioners. Detailing how the research was carried out, it
shows the use of vignettes to engage children's interest and explore their
feelings in a non-threatening way. The report shows that children have a clear
and incisive voice which policy-makers would do well to consider when
formulating policies that claim to be in children's best interests. The authors also wrote "Losing support: Children and the Child Support
Act." A small-scale study into children's views on parental obligations and
responsiblities. Based on interviews with children of lone mothers who have
experience of the Child Support Act and Agency, the text discusses the ethical
considerations when researching children on sensitive issues.
