Abstract
A special issue of Children's Geographies (2009, 7, 4) examined ‘the right to be properly researched’ and published examples of social researchers' commendable growing concern with rights and ethics in research with children. The issue included an editorial on ‘the right to be properly researched: research with children in a messy, real world’ (Beazley et al. Citation2009), which drew on the United Nations (Citation1989) Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This viewpoint piece reviews how children's rights in research are also grounded in national laws and other international human right treaties besides the UNCRC, as well as on agreed research ethics guidelines. I will end by suggesting an alternative approach to children's rights in research.
