Description
This introduction to children's rights and law explores how English law protects and recognizes the rights of children. Historically, the focus has been on parental rights, but in recent years, there has been growing recognition of children's rights.
The book examines key concepts such as the welfare of the child, safeguarding, education, medical treatment, freedom from abuse, and the role of the State in protecting vulnerable children. It also delves into international law, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Human Rights Act 1998.
Of interest to law and social science students, as well as professionals working with children, such as social workers, police officers, and magistrates, this book provides a comprehensive overview of children's rights and their place within domestic and international law.
