Critical Practice with Children and Young People

This textbook for advanced students and practitioners helps cultivate a deeper knowledge and critical understanding of the contexts in which practice with children and young people takes place. This new edition is substantially updated to reflect changes in the field since the publication of the first edition. It contains additional chapters discussing new and emerging topics including: key theoretical perspectives for critical practice; the politics of child protection; working with grieving children; the impact of devolution on policy and practice with children and young people. Giving equal attention to practice with both children and young people, this book will be essential both for students and for practitioners in fields such as social work, education, health care, and related disciplines.
