Edited by Christine Oliver, Jane Dalrymple
Paperback / softback
Description
The role of an advocate for children is one that I perform myself which is why I have found much of the research presented in this book so interesting...
We are all on the same side battling to improve life for children who have, through no fault of their own, been handed a very bad set of cards.'- From the Foreword by Cherie Booth QCAdvocacy for vulnerable people is increasingly becoming a part of health and social care practice, and over the past decade policy developments have contributed to a rapid development of advocacy services for children and young people. This book explores the latest debates and findings relating to research and practice in the field of children and young people's advocacy.
Contributors present the key issues and dynamics of current advocacy practice and examine its role within health, education and social care services, including its impact on inter-professional collaboration, the development of personalised services and the barriers and facilitators to children's participation in children's services. This book will be valued by any professional working with young people, including children and young people's advocates, health and social care professionals, teachers and youth workers.
