Hearing the Voices of Children - Social Policy for a New Century (Paperback, New)

Hearing the Voices of Children takes as its main theme the emergence of 'the child's voice' and the implications of this for social policy. Each contributor explores the various new perspectives on social policy that emerge when the 'voices of children' are listened to. The book explores social and cultural resources for children, comparing like with like across countries and continents. The editors argue that children's voices need to be taken more into account when policy is initially shaped, and that more attention needs to be paid to fostering children's active participation when implementing social policy.
