ABSTRACT Child participation currently holds a high profile within the field of educational psychology and has been the subject of increasing interest and research. The aim of this paper is to consider the potential merit in orienting the focus beyond participation in planning and decision-making and towards self-advocacy. Self-advocacy is an essential skill to develop in relation to longer-term outcomes and has particular relevance for children and young people with medical conditions. It is argued that the adult-centricity of risk assessment and management within education poses the potential for epistemological oppression. By drawing upon the bioecological theory of human development, risk assessment can be co-constructed as a process of formulation. Educational psychologists are well placed to bridge this area with the development of children and young people’s advocacy skills in preparation for adulthood.

关于患有疾病的儿童参与风险评估：发展自我倡导的案例

摘要 儿童参与目前在教育心理学领域备受瞩目，并已成为越来越受关注和研究的主题。本文的目的是考虑将重点放在参与规划和决策之外并转向自我倡导的潜在优点。自我倡导是一项与长期结果相关的基本技能，对于患有疾病的儿童和年轻人尤其重要。有人认为，教育中以成人为中心的风险评估和管理可能会造成认识论的压迫。通过借鉴人类发展的生物生态学理论，风险评估可以被共同构建为一个制定过程。
