There have long been doubts within social work about the viability of
reconciling participatory practice with the statutory power that comes
hand-in-hand with child protection work. This book explores this
issue by proposing an original theory of children’s participation
within statutory child protection interventions. It prioritises
children’s voices through presentation of a wide collection of
children’s experiences of the child protection system including
three unique in-depth accounts. Identifying the different ways in
which children engage with professionals in the child protection
process, Duncan explores why they act in the ways that they do. The
book reveals why some children are sceptical participants or become
disaffected with the system whilst others participate more positively
within it. Participation in Child Protection will be of interest to
students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including social
work, sociology, psychology, counselling, law and education, as well
as child protection professionals such as social workers, child
protection police officers, health visitors and teachers.
