Despite this, there is a lack of an edited volume that brings together recent international contributions on the topic. This book aims to address this gap by assuming that children can and should have agency in decisions that impact their lives. Child protection encompasses safeguarding children from violence within the family and in society at large. Children and youth may encounter public child protection systems in various situations, such as during investigations, support services, removal decisions, and foster, kin, or residential care. Children may face systemic violence due to factors such as lack of personal and economic security, limited access to education, and other circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book showcases pathways to children and young people's collective participation in shaping child protection policies and services across different countries through examples of participatory research and practices that promote children and young people's involvement in child protection. It highlights the change actions and voices of empowered and marginalized children and youth in various international contexts. The global examples presented in this volume serve as inspiration for children, youth, children's rights activists, child protection practitioners, students, scholars, and public policymakers to initiate, design, and implement participatory child protection policies and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, this book contributes to the growing body of knowledge on children's participation in child protection by providing a comprehensive and international perspective. It highlights the importance of empowering children and young people to have a voice in decisions that affect their lives and promotes the adoption of participatory policies and practices that prioritize their well-being and rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 548g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 243 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780197622322\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44435672105210,"sku":"9780197622322","price":61.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1691166004912_book.jpg?v=1691403971","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/children-and-young-peoples-participation-in-child-protection-international-research-and-practical-applications-9780197622322","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
