Aims and Objectives

This participatory research project will identify key issues in children and young people's experiences and agency in relation to resilience to flooding and the flood recovery process. The specific objectives of the project will be to:

  • Document and understand children and young people's experiences of flooding and the flood recovery process.
  • Analyse the relationship between children's experiences and their accounts of formal and informal support in enabling or inhibiting resilience during the flood recovery process.
  • Evaluate the lessons learnt by key agencies in the delivery of services for children and young people.
  • Contribute to an archive being generated by the ongoing Hull flood study to enable the voices of children and young people to become part of the flooding debate and the assessment of future research and policy.
