voice of the child

promoting participation

where to and why? “The Agency shall…ensure consideration is given to the views of children” Section 9(3) CFA Act (2013)

seldom-heard children in care ethnic minority backgrounds LGBT with disabilities early school leavers young offenders

minority stress “LGB people are at higher risk of mental disorder, suicidal ideation…and deliberate self-harm than heterosexual people” (King et al 2008: 1) Levels of suicidality for those identifying as transgender “would translate to an alarmingly high rate” (Haas et al, 2010: 27) “LGBT people are at a heightened risk of psychological distress because of the stresses created by stigmatisation, marginalisation and discrimination” (HSE, 2009: 24)

challenging the focus “Scientists and clinicians alike have actually repathologised homosexuality by portraying gay teenagers as exceptionally vulnerable individuals leading high-risk lives” (emphasis in original, Savin-Williams, 2005: 183) Researchers note the portrayals LGBT youth of “them as victims-in-need-of-tolerance-and-inclusion” (Talburt et al, 2004: 4) This “fails to illuminate the diversity and multi-facetedness of the experience of LGBT-identified youth or their capacity for agency, pleasure and creativity” (Bryan and Mayock, 2012: 13)
