Hello Isabel,

In addition to the excellent response by Michael Uebel; I have found these authors very helpful in the past, these are doctoral dissertations that might help:

Scott, Kevin B. (2018) A Qualitative Approach to Assessing How the Care System Can Impact on Young People. DForenPsy thesis, University of Nottingham.

http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/49845/1/4144616_Care_System_Dissertation.pdf

Radosteva, A. (2018). Cultural Consultations in Criminal Forensic Psychology: A Thematic Analysis of the Literature.

I think this is the researcher:

Alesya Radosteva

And this for a Masters:

Forde RCJ (2013) A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF YOUNG PEOPLE’S EXPERIENCES OF TRIAGE AS A RESTORATIVE DISPOSAL IN YOUTH JUSTICE

Hi Isobel I would recommend a number of articles by my colleague Dr Simone Fox and colleagues email [email protected]

She is a consultant forensic psychologist and has written a number of articles using thematic analysis to look at experiences of young people and parents. for example: The role of cultural factors in engagement and change in Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Simone Fox, Fatima Bibi, Hayleigh Millar, Amaryllis Holland First published: 28 September 2016| https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-6427.12134|

Please do contact her directly if that would be helpful, Simone was previously a lecturer at Royal Holloway College, so she is also used to supporting MsC and Doctoral students and I'm sure she'd be happy to help.
