Reviews for Supporting Young Children’s Participation in Child Welfare: European Perspectives

“This is a much-needed practice-facing book drawing on a four-country collaboration for social work professionals to reflect on and develop their participatory practice with young children. The book provides a clear rationale rooted in the UNCRC and detailed chapters on how such practice can be made possible with even the youngest children, using playful and creative approaches and optimising the potentials of the natural world. I am confident this will inspire practitioners to experiment and engage in the joys of relational work with children.” Debbie Watson, University of Bristol
