The terms 'wellbeing', 'empowerment' and 'agency' are common
parlance in policy and practice with children, young people and
families (CYPF), yet are often misused or not fully understood.
Further, there is a disconnect between these abstract concepts and
tangible practice with CYPF. This book bridges the theory-practice
divide, offering a clear and definitive guide to concepts and
practical ways to develop CYPF wellbeing. It examines the concept
of wellbeing and its intrinsic relationship to social justice both
theoretically and through case study material, and locates these
practices within critical pedagogy. The book highlights a range of
practice with CYPF of various ages, in formal and non-formal
learning situations, engaged in a range of different programmes
including learning, reduction from offending, social action and
tackling targeted needs. Each chapter highlights relevant policy,
research and practice examples to ensure that the book is relevant
to a variety of readers. This book will benefit students and
practitioners who work with young people to realise wellbeing and
to embed critical pedagogy in their practice. It also provides a
frame of reference to critically engage in policy analysis and is
essential reading for social workers, teachers, police support
officers and anyone working to support CYPF to become empowered.
