This book takes an international perspective on child welfare, examining how global and national frameworks can be adapted to address the rights and best interests of children. Synthesising the latest international research, experts redefine the concept of a 'child in need' in a world where global movement is common and children are frequently involved in the law. The book considers children as citizens, as refugees, victims of trafficking, soldiers, or members of indigenous groups and identifies the political and cultural changes that need to take place in order to deliver rights for these children. Focusing in particular on child protection systems across nations, it identifies areas of child welfare and family law which systematically fail to look after the best interests of children, often through prejudice, outdated practice, or even the failure of agencies to work together.Exploring the nexus between children's rights and the law across the globe, this book makes essential reading for policymakers, social workers, lawyers, researchers and professionals involved in protecting vulnerable children.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 239mmItem Length: 174mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 590gContributor: Lisa Young (Contributions by), Patrick O'Leary (Contributions by), Helen Richardon Foster (Contributions by), Linda Moore (Contributions by), Una Convery (Contributions by), Christine Beddoe (Contributions by), Jackie Turton (Contributions by), Suzanne Oliver (Contributions by), Goos Cardol (Contributions by), Rosemary Sheehan (Edited by), Chaitali Das (Contributions by), Gladis Molina (Contributions by), Shelly Whitman (Contributions by), Greg Kelly (Contributions by), James Reid (Contributions by), Nicky Stanley (Contributions by), Helen Rhoades (Edited by), Meredith Kiraly (Contributions by), Nicky Stanley (Edited by), Cathy Humphreys (Contributions by), Jason Squire (Contributions by), Pam Miller (Contributions by), Robert H.
