Abstract

This article draws from ongoing PhD research investigating an innovative child protection practice in France called “at-home placements.” While the researcher conducted ethnographic field research, she shadowed social workers during home visits at the parental homes where the children lived. Based on her experience of observing intimate elements of family lives and families' interactions with social workers, this paper describes and addresses some ethical gaps she encountered. The authors describe two case studies to illustrate her work on interpreting the children’s perspective and including it in her research design. The case is made to leave some space for 'micro-ethics' to adapt the research process to the perspective children express during the ethnographic data collection.
