There is increasing interest in young people's participation in the
design and delivery of health services. But young people's views
are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still
often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original
research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores
the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young
people's participation in health services from the perspectives of
young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She
presents a practical new framework, embedded in children's rights,
that shows how young people's participation can be integrated into
services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
The general well-being of British adolescents has been the topic of
considerable debate in recent years, but too often this is based on
myth rather than fact. Are today's young people more stressed,
anxious, distressed or antisocial than they used to be? What does
research evidence tell us about the adolescent experience today and
how it has changed over time? And how do trends in adolescent
well-being since the 1970s relate to changes in education, leisure,
communities and family life in that time? This unique volume brings
together the main findings from the Nuffield Foundation's Changing
Adolescence Programme and explores how social change may affect
young people's behaviour, mental health and transitions toward
adulthood. As well as critiquing research evidence, which will be
of interest to a wide academic audience, the book will inform the
wider debate on this subject among policy makers and service
providers, voluntary organisations and campaign groups.

Focusing on young people and adolescence, this book explores the
complexity of contemporary adolescent safeguarding. It highlights
evidence-informed practice and innovation in this area at the work,
serving as an accessible and invaluable resource for all working
with and supporting young people facing risk and harm. Core themes
covered by the book are the nature of harms facing some young
people, the potential pitfalls of some professional responses, and
the current legal framework for safeguarding young people where
harm occurs outside the family home. It includes an overview of
adolescent development, and argues for a holistic, systemic
response that addresses the structural disadvantage facing many
young people at risk and incorporates participatory and
trauma-informed practice designed to promote resilience. It draws
on innovative approaches in local areas, such as Transitional
Safeguarding, to make the case for a person-centred,
evidence-informed and rights-based approach to safeguarding young
people. As well as being invaluable to practitioners, managers and
strategic leaders working in this field, this is also ideally
suited to be a text for any social work course or professional
development programme on adolescent safeguarding practice.
Written by a child psychiatrist, a criminologist and a social psychologist, Antisocial Behavior by Young People is a major international review of research evidence on antisocial behavior. The book covers all aspects of the field, including descriptions of different types of delinquency and time trends, the state of knowledge on the individual, social-psychological and cultural factors involved, and recent advances in prevention and intervention. The authors bring together a wide range of disciplinary perspectives in order to provide a comprehensive account of antisocial behavior in youth. This will be an important work for many professionals and researchers in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and criminology.
Children Who Commit Acts of Serious Interpersonal Violence explores
risk management and successful intervention for children in public
care who have committed, or are at risk of committing, acts of
serious violence. The contributors identify different subgroups of
children who are difficult to place, including those who sexually
offend and those who murder, and outline the key characteristics
and patterns of need they display. They provide an overview of the
risk factors leading to extremely violent behaviour and discuss the
complexities of diagnosis and definition from a multidisciplinary
perspective. The book proposes strategies for effectively managing
these children, drawing evidence from international practice and
research projects. It highlights the limitations of current
structures and makes recommendations for future development.
Children Who Commit Acts of Serious Interpersonal Violence will be
a key reference for those individuals and organisations working
with potentially dangerous children, and will encourage the reader
to think creatively about good practice.
