This document is a toolkit outlining qualitative methods for researchers interested in exploring the more exploitative and damaging forms of child begging, where children have been physically forced or coerced into their work. However, many of the tools and methods can be adapted to find out about the lives of other girls and boys living or working on the streets, and about other hard-to-reach and exploited groups of children. All of the methods included in the toolkit are simple and easy to use, and the toolkit does not require extensive research experience or academic training. However, it is important that those using the toolkit have received some basic training in qualitative research methods and research ethics. A separate guide for training staff in such techniques, Forced Child Begging: Tools for an introductory training course on qualitative research methods, is available on the Anti-Slavery International website: www.antislavery.org.
