There has been a move in children’s services to encourage greater participation by children themselves in how those services are designed and run. This is equally important in services used by those who find it difficult to express their views, yet children with complex needs appear to have less involvement in their care than other groups. Encouraging children with intellectual disabilities to express their views requires creativity, and this article describes the development and use of the child-friendly questionnaire, which uses various methods to support children in communicating their emotions and provide feedback about the service they have received.
