Abstract
"The Nuffield Council on Bioethics' 2015 report Children and clinical research: ethical issues explores how ethical anxieties with respect to the involvement of children and young people in clinical research can be managed and mitigated with the help of children, young people and parents themselves. In so doing, the report challenges many of the assumptions that underpin the classification of children and young people as necessarily constituting a 'vulnerable group', arguing that vulnerability is primarily present in situations, rather than in individuals, and that much can be done to design worthwhile research in ways that minimise the risk that individual children and young people may be placed in a vulnerable situation. Partnership between researchers and children, young people, and their families is essential, not only at the point of recruitment to a study, but also much earlier in the development stages of research studies"
