Project Fortitude: Improving children's legal capability

Descrizione del progetto

Risorse basate sui giochi per il rafforzamento dei bambini

I bambini devono essere ascoltati, in particolare quando si trovano in pericolo. Nonostante l’esistenza di normative internazionali e di leggi nazionali volte alla tutela dell’infanzia, milioni di bambini sono sottoposti al rischio di episodi di violenza, negligenza o abuso. È necessario rafforzarli e metterli in condizione di applicare il loro diritti legali in modo indipendente. Il progetto FORTITUDE, finanziato dall’UE, condurrà ricerche all’avanguardia per sviluppare le possibilità giuridiche dei bambini e si adopererà con i bambini per sviluppare risorse che li mettano in condizioni di affrontare in modo efficace le questioni legali. Il progetto agevolerà inoltre l’accesso autonomo dei bambini al sostegno e alla sicurezza, grazie a una serie di interventi basati sul gioco, concepiti in un quadro che pone l’infanzia al centro. In definitiva, FORTITUDE si propone di contribuire alle capacità giuridiche del bambino a livello internazionale.

Obiettivo

The aim of this project is to improve the legal capability of children. This focus on children breaks new ground because other research into legal capability focuses on adults.

On paper, children are both empowered and protected by numerous laws and international rights instruments. In practice, however, we know that millions of children live at risk of violence, abuse and neglect in the UK alone. The proposed research seeks to create a range of resources that will empower and enable children who are at risk to enforce their legal rights independently; so increasing the likelihood of them accessing support and securing protection from harm.

As well as targeting children at risk, this project seeks to strengthen all children’s capability to deal effectively with the many law-related issues that they encounter in their day to day lives. This is based on the view that children are competent social actors, whose views should be taken seriously.

The project aim will be achieved through three work packages:

1. We will draw on the experiences of children to co-create a child-centred framework of attributes of legal capability.
2. We will co-create a range of game-based interventions that will both measure and improve these attributes, drawing on theories of play.
3. We will optimise the effectiveness of these interventions by determining what works best, in what circumstances, for improving attributes of legal capability among children. We will also develop a specification of the process by which such interventions can be created and optimised.

The project will provide a range of game-based resources that will improve the lives of children by providing them with opportunities to improve their legal capabilities, as well as providing a framework for the development of these resources in other populations, such as EU states and developing countries. This provides the basis for opening up further lines of research for our team internationally.
