Understanding advisory involvement
This report brings together findings from a mapping exercise and survey about the ways children and young people can contribute to research as advisers, rather than as study participants.
The work explored existing approaches, practical considerations and learning from those supporting involvement. It focuses on how research teams can create meaningful, age-appropriate opportunities for children and young people to help shape research questions, plans, materials and communication.
The publication is retained as an archive resource. Its findings are useful alongside current guidance, particularly when teams are planning roles, support and feedback for younger contributors.
