Reviews

'The book is written in an interactive and easy to read style that would be accessible to anyone who works with children and is interested in learning more about children's rights... The book would also be useful reading for policy-makers and practitioners who are interested in taking concrete steps to ensure that the goals outlined in the UNCRC are realized through policy practice.'--Early Years

'Welch and Jones have produced a much-needed book that highlights for practitioners the cultural, legal and political challenges - as well as opportunities - for promoting children's rights, by taking an open-eyed look at the necessity of understanding these rights within local context and culture. This book provides a roadmap of investigative questions that researchers and practitioners alike can use in navigating the complex and compelling domain of children's rights.' Felisa Tibbitts, Director, Human Rights Education Associates (HREA), USA
