In Western societies, national and international legislation and agreements are giving increasing support to the principle that children must be regarded as subjects, with the right to be in focus and to express their own views in the assessment process of social work. The empirical data in the present study, collected from more than 700 social workers through open‐ended questions, and generated in a cross‐national vignette study of child protection cases in Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Britain and Texas, are analysed within a conceptual framework of ‘child visibility’ and ‘child view’. The results reveal a number of systematic patterns within and between the areas under study. The child is visible to different extents but also with varying emphasis across the countries. The possibility for the views of the child to be included in assessment processes differs due to the age of the child and across the countries
