This innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. It challenges existing notions of child protection, explores the harms children and families experience in social and economic contexts, mobilizes the protective capacities within families and communities, and places ethics and human rights at the center of everyday conversations and practices.

The state is increasingly perceived as intrusive and neglectful, particularly by individuals residing in poverty, resulting in a loss of trust and widespread sentiments of alienation and disconnection. Against this backdrop of tension, this innovative book posits that child protection policies and practices have inadvertently contributed to the problem rather than ensuring the well-being and safety of children. Building upon the ideas presented in the best-selling Re-imagining child protection, the book brings together a diverse array of social theorists and disciplines to explore:
Challenges prevailing notions of child protection, unveiling their limitations.
Ensures that the harms children and families encounter are examined in a manner that recognizes the social and economic contexts in which they exist.
Explains how the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilized and practices of co-production embraced.
Places ethics and human rights at the forefront of everyday conversations and practices.
Through its comprehensive analysis and compelling arguments, this book offers a fresh perspective on child protection, challenging the status quo and advocating for transformative change. It is a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in promoting the well-being and rights of children and families.
