... to. The article explores children’s view and the consultation process, it examines why children’s views be taken into account, and what else can be done to protect their privacy. The article concludes that media attention interferes with children’s privacy; although this was overlooked by the previous government in its efforts to provide open, accountable family justice, this situation can still be changed.
Online journals as virtual bedrooms?: young people, identity and personal space

This article considers the increasing importance of personal, individualized spaces in the lives and identities of young people through a comparative examination of the contemporary use of the physical space of the bedroom and the ‘virtual’ territory of the online journal. Particularly popular among those in their teens and early twenties, online journals constitute an interactive form of web log whose content tends to be dominated by reflections upon the everyday experiences, thought and emotions of their individual owner. The authors propose here that such online journals often take on for their users the symbolic and practical properties of individually owned and controlled space — something we illustrate through a comparison with young people's uses of the primary, individual-centred, physical space in their lives — the bedroom. This discussion is informed by research by each of the authors, on young people's bedrooms and on the use of online journals respectively. The article identifies and explores understandings and functions of these two spaces for young people, identifying a number of apparent similarities in their use. Through doing so, we illustrate the potential value of the bedroom as a prism through which to understand online journal use at the same time as helping to illuminate the general significance of personal space to the lives and identities of contemporary young people.

... identifies severely detrimental, far reaching consequences for children, whose private and intimate lives are made public and in which they had no choice, including serious depression, self-harm and suicide. It demonstrates that the right to privacy is paramount to children, together with a duty for adults and the media to gain children’s informed consent before publishing information about them.

This report provides a selection of interim findings based on in-depth interviews with 35 children and young people. The study is funded by the Children’s Commissioner for England and aims to provide information from children and young people to assist policy makers and practitioners when considering their needs and rights in complex questions about media access to family courts, and issues of transparency in the family justice system. The research addresses both recent changes to the Rules (April 2009) permitting media into family hearings, and further issues raised by aspects of Part 2 of the Children, Schools and Families Bill – family courts, regarding sensitive information and information pertaining to the identity of children and families. At this interim stage, the findings indicate some serious problems are likely to arise for children, clinicians and thus family courts, with significant implications for children’s safety and well-being.

Semi-structured online group interviews (focus groups) were conducted with 39 participants from the Kids Help Line, a 24-hour national telephone and counselling service located in Australia. Analysis revealed five domains relevant to the adolescents’ motives and experiences and the frequency of categories within and across cases were analyzed to generate and understand themes and patterns. Specific motivators and barriers are identified and discussed, as are implications for practice and continued research.

Looking at views from 51 children, young people and adults (9-23 years, majority aged 11-17) interviewed for the Office of the Commissioner for Children between November 2009 - January 2010, about media access to Family Courts in England. The article is written in the context of the lack of research on children/young people’s views on this issue, Part 2 of the Child School and Families Act, recent changes (following the election) at the Lord Chancellor and Ministry of Justice and the CAFCASS attitude of accepting/supporting ‘the position of the current Lord Chancellor and Minister of Justice. Vignettes of ‘real’ cases are published in the ‘11milllion’ report (March 2010) and this paper discusses its findings under headings of ‘reporters in court’, ‘publishing information from cases and judgements’, ‘children’s safety and welfare and issues of ethical integrity’, ‘views about children’s rights to privacy’, ‘children and young people’s views about the press’, ‘educating the public’, ‘naming social workers, guardians, family court advisors and doctors in newspaper stories, and allowing reporters to read their reports’, and ‘evidence-based policy’. Recommendations, such as a call for independent review are explored.
