Book Description
This volume examines, from a number of different perspectives, the implications of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, for justice for children. The contributors are drawn from a cross-section of the community of individuals with an interest in or responsibility for children: academics, practitioners, policy makers and researchers. It therefore blends the academic with the practical and has immediate relevance for those researchers, lawyers, academics, fieldworkers and policy makers whose concern is children's rights. Justice for Children is based on proceedings of the International Conference on Justice for Children, held in Glasgow, September 1992

EBOOK: Understanding Advocacy For Children And Young People

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
"A welcome contribution not only towards the development of advocacy policy and practice with children and young people across the UK and further afield but also towards the wider field of furthering children and young people's participation, individually and collectively in decisions affecting them. The authors ... deftly combine ... very pertinent theoretical perspectives with case studies and practical illustrations of how ... discourses play out in the real world of children and young people's lives. In so doing the book provides a powerful and timely reminder to practitioners, policy makers and commissioners of the importance of critical reflective practice in understanding the dynamics at play." Anne Crowley, Assistant Director (Policy and Research), Save the Children UK "This book is a serious read for anyone interested in the development of children's rights and advocacy. It has been thoroughly researched by two of the most highly respected commentators on the subject, and represents an authoritative and comprehensive guide. I would especially commend it to policy makers as providing a realistic account of what sometimes prevents good children's rights and advocacy practice, and for tackling very real and contentious issues such as 'best interest' principles getting in the way of giving full expression of children's own views." Mike Lindsay, National Co-ordinator of Children's Rights Alliance for England Presenting children and young people's advocacy as an exciting, radical and constantly developing way of working, Boylan and Dalrymple explore its controversial and challenging nature through a comprehensive examination of the theory and practice of advocacy. Readers are invited to consider advocacy as a powerful tool for promoting change in attitudes towards children and young people. The development of meaningful participation in decision making and systemic change in the provision of services for children and young people is identified as key to this process. While advocacy now has a higher profile within health, welfare and education services, the authors argue for critical engagement with the dilemmas and paradoxes it continues to present. More traditional ways of advocacy practice are evaluated alongside newer approaches such as non-instructed advocacy and e-advocacy. Key issues explored include: An historical overview of advocacy within professional practice The development of independent advocacy The contested nature of advocacy Children and young people's participation Forms and models for the provision of advocacy The relationship between advocacy and anti-oppressive practice The authors draw on their own research and the experiences of young people, advocates and professionals working with children and young people to examine key messages and debates that have emerged. Case examples are used to illustrate advocacy dilemmas in a range of settings. Understanding Advocacy for Children and Young People is an essential text for advocates and professionals working with children and young people. It is also suitable as a key resource for health and social care practitioners, educators, commissioners and policy makers.

Child Advocacy
Author: James R. TompkinsPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
This book presents an outline of the fundamental concepts of child advocacy and its emergence as a social movement dedicated to improving the welfare of special education/special need children, delinquent children, and other children in need of social services. Tompkins addresses the alienation of children from supportive environments vital to their psychological and social development, a complex problem which often includes deficiencies at home, school and in the community, and which is often compounded by subtle forces that "identifies" children as abnormal while failing to provide resources to improve their welfare. Tompkins outlines the principles of child advocacy, how they have evolved, and how advocacy plans can be implemented by individuals, community and professional groups, and educators. Model programs, training procedures, and strategies for collaborating with college and university personnel are presented. A subject of growing importance for public, professional, and political communities, this book explores advocacy as a process that seeks to champion the rights of all children and make every child's needs known and met.
