Summary:

Trust is a core foundation of ethical practice and participatory research with children and young people, especially when addressing sensitive topics like violence, abuse, and trauma. This How-to Guide provides practical strategies, examples, and reflections for researchers interested in designing and conducting participatory research. Drawing on the author’s doctoral research and examples from other studies, the guide explores two key areas. First are ethical considerations, such as understanding research sensitivity, balancing protection and participation rights, and child-centered ethical frameworks. Second, practical strategies for trust building include feedback loops, cocreating safe-space agreements, and relationship building through reciprocity and fun. This guide illustrates how participatory research requires balancing structure and flexibility while disrupting power dynamics between adults and children and young people. Recognizing the unpredictability of participatory research, this guide discusses how researchers can make ethical decisions by being attuned and responsive to young people’s relational and participation needs.
