ABSTRACTParticipation of children and parents is a central notion in child and family social work. This paper reports on a research dealing with how the participative paradigm comes to the fore in the practice of report writing in the work with looked‐after children. As social work is essentially a language‐centred activity, report writing is a core skill in social work. A participative practice of report writing would imply that the perspective of the children and parents is present in the reports. The results of our research show that a participatory approach to writing reports is not self‐evident. On the one hand, the practice of report writing shows a big diversity in the way the client's perspectives are given attention. On the other hand, the incorporation of the client's voice does not necessarily stand for a participatory approach because it may be used to strengthen professional views rather than clarify clients' perspectives. The case is made in such a way that a participatory approach of child and family social work demands more attention to the practice of writing reports.

Although historians have much to contribute to understanding such "Big Science" projects as the Human Genome project, they also face special challenges in placing these ongoing events in historical context. To address these problems from an interdisciplinary perspective, the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry brought together a group of scholars and students of contemporary science on September 12-13, 1991, with a specific mandate to explore their common methodologies. Sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the conference on Writing History of Science While it Happens revealed that the difficulties faced by historians interested in contemporary science are shared by scholars of other disciplines. Historians, journalists, sociologists, and anthropologists increasingly share both tools and subjects of interest.
