This paper explores computer‐assisted self‐interviewing (CASI) as a methodology for consulting with vulnerable children. The authors provide a brief review of the literature in this area, indicating that computer‐mediated environments for self‐administered questionnaires can be particularly helpful in enabling data to be obtained about sensitive subjects. A case example is provided of Viewpoint Interactive, a CASI application in use in the UK in local authority children's services, education, and in learning disability child care practice. The paper concludes that CASI as a methodology can assist with consultation, and that it may provide a useful additional tool in the complex process of moving beyond consultation alone to the development of increased and more effective participation for vulnerable children in the provision of their care.
