Explores ways in which children can be recognised as social actors rather than passive consumers or victims as well as ways of involving children in the decision-making processes in the issues affecting them, in social work, education, health care and social policies. Contains sections on theoretical background which compares developments in children's and women's rights, and discuss communication issues and social and sexual constructions of children. Other sections explore issues of policy and practice in a variety of areas, from family group conferencing and child protection to child labour and notions of active citizenship. Highlighting the important role of schools in empowering children, it discusses children's engagement in their own education and how children's rights theory influences debates over discipline.
