Abstract:	The purpose of this submission is to contribute findings to the DGD 2021 that focus on the perspective of the affected children and open them up for the professional discussion on high quality residential childcare. The team of authors starts from the following premises: Children have the right to participate in all issues that affect their lives (UN CRC).Constant participation experiences of young people are a fundamental prerequisite for their personal development as well as for the development of willingness to be educated. This is especially true for children growing up in residential childcare.That is why today, in contrast to the past, which was often focused on discipline, the protection, promotion and participation of young people are at the centreof residential care(UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, 2010). However, studies indicate that the implementation of participation in the everyday life of residential child andyouth care still faces many challenges (ten Brummelaar et al., 2018). Against this background, the question arises how participation can be realized in residential care. To what extent do the institutional structures of the facilities allow children to participate there? What opportunities do placed childrenreceive to develop the competencies of expressing opinions and co-determination?
