 Mutual benefits: The lessons learned from a community based participatory research project with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and foster carersJustin Rogers, Sam Carr and Caroline Hickman Children and Youth Services Review, 2018, vol. 92, issue C, 105-113 Abstract: This paper presents a community based participatory research project, which adopted a photovoice approach with seven unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) living in foster care in the United Kingdom. The project also included a focus group with six foster carers to explore their perceptions of caring for UASCs. At the end of the focus group we then shared the young people's images from the photovoice project. The purpose of this was to better inform the carers understanding of this group's needs and the reality of their lived experiences, to see if this would have any impact on their perceptions or willingness to offer these children a placement in the future. The young people then developed the photographs into posters, which were shown at community events and exhibited in community spaces during refugee week.
