Description
This book explores the complex relationship between children's participation and statutory child protection interventions. Mandy Duncan presents a unique theory that prioritises children's voices, drawing on a wide range of experiences from the child protection system.
Through in-depth accounts and analysis, Duncan sheds light on why some children engage positively with the system while others become disaffected. This research has implications for students and scholars across various disciplines, including social work, sociology, psychology, and education.
Child protection professionals such as social workers, child protection police officers, health visitors, and teachers will find this book a valuable resource for understanding children's experiences and perspectives in the child protection process.
