This book provides a thorough examination of children's rights, focusing on key themes and objectives that contribute to their understanding, implementation, and advocacy.

Written by academics both in the UK and internationally, and with each chapter containing two illustrative case studies, this volume will increase awareness and knowledge among social workers, enhancing professional practice whilst fostering empowerment and addressing systemic issues. Chapters are divided into four main themes: understanding theory that promotes children's rights, protection from harm, participation, and provision of services. Each section delves into the fundamental concept of children's rights, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and highlights the role of social workers in actively promoting and protecting these rights. In doing so, this collection emphasises the importance of safeguarding children, identifying and responding to abuse, neglect, and exploitation, as well as problematising the balancing act of realising childrenâs rights in the modern context of child welfare.

By providing practical strategies and techniques for promoting and protecting childrenâs rights, this book serves as a concise and informative resource for practitioners, students, and academics working in the field of social work, as well as scholars of child protection, safeguarding, and social policy more broadly.
