Description
Protecting Children: A Social Model by Brid Featherstone, Anna Gupta, Kate Morris and Susan White explores how child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children's well-being and safety. The book challenges existing notions of child protection, revealing their limits, and argues that the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilised to promote co-production and everyday conversations about ethics and human rights. By acknowledging social and economic contexts, it provides a nuanced exploration of the harms experienced by children and families. This innovative work draws together a wide range of social theorists and disciplines to offer a new perspective on child protection, one that prioritises the centre of everyday practices and conversations.
