Children's Voices

📖 The Scoop

This book incorporates contributions from leading academics, researchers and policy makers and argues for a new focus on listening to the voices of children in the context of their everyday life experiences. It is based on the premise that children are competent and articulate and that it is time to see them as active participants in, rather that the passive recipients of, research, policy and provision of services. The importance of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCROC) as a living document which can provide a framework for the development of policy and practice is discussed in depth throughout the text. This book will be useful for tertiary students in human development, social work, health sciences, sociology. social policy, psychology, law and education as well as for parents and professionals such as social workers, psychologists, counsellors, teachers, health professionals and lawyers.
