- Summary:
- This book describes a range of new, innovative practices being undertaken by children's advocates in health and social care, and outlines the success of their work with children who are usually excluded from decisions that concern them.
- It covers a broad range of contexts in which advocacy takes place, including advocacy for looked after children and disabled children, and the role of advocacy in child protection. Contributors investigate key issues of current advocacy practice and the barriers and facilitators to children's participation in decisions concerning their lives.
