Children come into the world completely helpless, and require
well-functioning families and schools to meet their needs, protect
their interests and nurture their potential. This book argues that
healthy child-development depends on values, ideas and structures
that promote justice for children and families; in particular,
checks and balances that favour: * Fairness: allowing fair
distribution of resources, so that every child and family have the
best possible chance to reach their potential. * Protection:
resources for families, neighbourhoods and schools to help protect
and encourage their children, alongside the means to intervene,
should this protection fail. * Autonomy: encouraging children's
voice and participation in decision-making at a level commensurate
with their maturity. Authored by leading experts in the field, the
book is comprised of short, highly readable chapters with an
interdisciplinary appeal, for practitioners of social science, law,
social work, psychology, paediatrics, psychotherapy, psychiatry and
public health alike.
