Research summary
The proposed study aims to explore service user and parent/ caregiver understandings of human rights in the context of children’s mental health inpatient units. A minimum of eight to ten children and their parent or caregiver will be recruited from an NHS CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) inpatient unit. Through semi-structured interviews and a focus group, participants will be asked to explore their understanding of human rights in the context of the care they are receiving. Data will be subject to thematic analysis. Consideration will be given to how participant experiences compare to existing legal frameworks. This study will form part of a broader research programme examining human rights understanding in different mental health contexts.
