Call for participation in a study by the FHNW.

The FHNW (University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland) is looking for children aged 10 and older and their parents to participate in a short survey as part of a study.
We are happy to share this call for participants.

How do children, teenagers, and parents actually experience this?
We are looking for children and parents to participate in our online survey!

What? Our research aims to uncover the experiences of children, adolescents, and parents in child protection proceedings at the Child and Adult Protection Authority (KESB). How do they experience the child protection process? Are they able to contribute their perspective? Is their opinion taken into account? Are they satisfied with the process and the decisions made?

Who? Children aged 10 and over, and young people as well as parents who have been involved in child protection proceedings at the KESB in the last two years.

Important! Parents of younger children can also participate. Children (aged 10 and over) and teenagers can also participate if their parents do not wish to complete the questionnaire themselves. This concerns proceedings before the Child and Adult Protection Authority (KESB) (in some cantons, the family court) – other civil proceedings are not the focus. The questionnaire does not address the background of the child protection proceedings, such as family problems.

How? Filling it out takes about ten minutes.
