Abstract

Since the late twentieth century has seen an increased interest in involving children in social studies. Despite support research codes, implementation of social research related to the participation of children raises a number of complex ethical and legal issues and challenges. Involving children to this type of projects leads to a conflict between two sometimes conflicting goals, namely the need for more and more appreciated information on this category of participants, and ethical protection order the wider interests of the child, which may be violated in the study.

The author describes the origins and ethical standards applicable to the world in social studies in children and adolescents. Emphasizes the specificity of ethical principles in relation to children and on the example of FGI presents examples of ʻgood practiceʼ the principles of ethical to juvenile participants.
