520 _aThis qualitative paper examines state care and protection interventions into the lives of 10 children in Dunedin. The intention of this research is to determine the level of understanding that these children had of their placement situations, the reasons behind them being in out of home care, and the child's involvement in decisions about their lives. Participants interviewed included the children, caregivers, and where possible, their social workers, with two follow-up interviews conducted for each child. Results included children's knowledge of why they were in care, their knowledge and understanding of agencies and professionals who are involved in their lives, and children's participation in the decisions that affect their lives. The findings indicate that the majority of children did not understand why they were in care and were confused about the roles of professionals. Seventy percent of children stated that they were listened to about placement options and family contact. Personal accounts of children's stories about how and why they came into care are included, some of which discuss family violence.
