It seems once over 18, one is classed as being able to make there own decisions, yet being under 16 (minors) parental consent must be sough before a research can undergo any part of an enquiry.
•
Older young people (18+) are able to give their own consent without their parents’ agreement. 6 The Protection of Children Act 1999: ‘A Practical Guide to the Act for All Organisations Working With Children’ Department of Health 24 I have found these websites below useful when considering the ethical implications of involving young people in research, they also highlight the benefits to gaining insight from younger people, it's really interesting!
I am wanting to explore further in the possible 'power issues' involved when researching into the opinions of younger dance students, the approaches mentioned in these texts address what the potential issues could be, but also as the researcher how they can be avoided.
Has anyone had any thoughts on this, or is anyone else having to consider the implications we need to consider?
