‘The Voice of the Child’: A Protocol for a Scoping Review of Hermeneutic Phenomenological Research with Children

This scoping review explores the use of hermeneutic phenomenology in research with children of verbal age. It examines how hermeneutic phenomenological approaches are applied to study children’s lived experiences, including philosophical foundations, methodological practices, and ethical and relational considerations, with the aim of informing and strengthening future child-centred research.
