...Excellent supplementary book for the course.
This is a brilliant book. I plan to use the book with second year undergraduate students although I can see I will also be referring to it on other teaching modules also. The different chapters build up to provide a very rounded picture of children's rights. The book is grounded in research and theory and makes very interesting and relevant links to the law.
This book supports all practitioners who work with children and young people. Ways to actively promote rights is illustrated across the book.
A well written book that will be recommended for students studying BA Hons Early Childhood Studies. The book will help students to understand the underlying concepts of children's rights and the importance of such. The book gives a good insight into legislation and how this is interpreted in practice.
Relevant book for all health and social care professions, recommended it to our library as it would be good for students to have access to it, the books very clearly outlines the implication of legislation and frameworks on practice in terms of children's right of participation in matters pertaining to them
This is an very useful books for students exploring the issues surrounding Children's Rights.
Another excellent book from Phil Jones which covers highly relevant issues in ways which engage student interest.
Children's Rights in Practice is focusing on the participation of children, analysing the concept of allowing children a voice. This will involve considering the current understanding of the term childhood and how this has evolved. The book increases knowledge around the policy and practice including safeguarding and child protection. An excellent book for anyone who works with the children and young people.
This book will be relevant to many professions working with children and young people. It is clearly written and the questions throughout allow the students to reflect on their practice areas. It would have been useful to have some reference to Scottish documents.
A very good resource for helping nursing students apply the theoretical concepts of children's rights to practice.
