The co-production of research with children and young people

Although young people's participation as active researchers may not always be explicit in published research, and co-production remains ill defined, adult researchers are continuing to work in teams with young people to empower them and support the production of research. Doing so in a manner that is mutually respectful and centred on a belief that young people can be competent, skilled researchers who have the right to share in decision making as societal stakeholders can be mutually beneficial.Young people have the right to be heard in this way.
