Children's Rights in Practice
- Synopsis
-
Jones (education, social sciences, and law, Leeds U. , UK) and Walker (childhood and early years, Leeds Metropolitan U. ) bring together researchers in the fields of social work, education, public health, criminology, childhood and early years, and youth work and community development from the UK who contribute 15 essays on the interactions between conventions and legislation--particularly the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child--and children's lives as experienced in different areas of service and provision. After introducing these conventions and legislation and the implications for child rights, they discuss specific areas of practice such as early years, the right to play, the right to silence, the voice of the child in the context of learning and communication impairments, education, bilingualism, health, and youth work and justice.
