The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. Childhood should be free of violence, and victims
of childhood maltreatment should be entitled to participate as
expert informants in research about these experiences. Placing
children and adult survivors at the heart of research efforts on
child maltreatment is critical to effective response and prevention
measures in fighting this form of violence. Embedded in the
European context, Participatory Research on Child Maltreatment with
Children and Adult Survivors presents a mosaic of contexts,
theories, and methods relating to children’s and adult
survivors’ participation in research about their adverse
experiences. Contributors demonstrate how research can mobilize
children and adult survivors to become agents in constructing and
disseminating reliable, evidence-based knowledge about child
maltreatment. Enriching ongoing debates about ethical concerns and
challenges of participatory research in the field of child
maltreatment, this contribution to Emerald Studies in Child Centred
Practice highlights the advantages that participation as a human
right and as a valued endeavour of scientific knowledge
accumulation can bring to communities of researchers and helping
professionals. The authors of this book are members of a designated
working group of the pan-European network on Multisectoral
Responses to Child Abuse and Neglect in Europe (Euro-CAN),
supported by the European Cooperation on Science Technology (COST
Action 19106), that promote children’s and child abuse
survivors’ participation in research on violence.
Bringing together international case studies, this book offers
theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between
social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on
policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core
analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers)
in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and
implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer
examples of policy making from seven different countries and
demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political
actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the
potential of social work for the social policy-making process.
