Recenzii
"The book is exceptionally clear and academically rigorous—it is a pleasure to read.The foreword of Daly’s book is written by Professor Emeritus Michael Freeman, (...). There can be no greater accolade than his ringing endorsement and I can only concur with his view that the book “is thorough, perceptive and novel and will set a benchmark for future analysesof children’s rights in the context of the courts and beyond.” "Emma Cave, Professor in Healthcare Law, Durham University, Human Rights Quarterly, Volume 40, Number 4, November 2018, pp. 1041-1045."This book is useful for anyone working or researching in the area of children’s participation in family law or child protection proceedings. It constitutes a thoroughly researched summary of the way children’s views are heard and taken into account in many different jurisdictions throughout the world.To that end it can be used as a reference book itself. Daly’s research offers those who may have influence over how children are heard in proceedings, such as judges, welfare officers and lawyers for children, a better way of thinking about how children’s voices can be genuinely heard in a way that is respectful and impactful. It is hoped that this book may be a starting point for reframing the way we think about children’s views and making changes to family law and child protection policies and practices."Nicola Ross, Senior Lecturer, Newcastle Law School, University of Newcastle, Australia and Michelle Fernando, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, University of South Australia, International Journal of Children’s Rights 26 (2018) pp. 837-847.
