Summary: Social inclusion and participation have become policy mantras in the UK and Europe. As these concepts are being translated into policies and practice, it is a critical time to examine - and challenge - their interpretation, implementation and impacts. This book asks how far and in what way social inclusion policies are meeting the needs and rights of children and young people.
Children, young people and social inclusion: Participation for what? asks how far and in what way social inclusion policies are meeting the needs and rights of children and young people. The book critically examines the concepts of participation and social inclusion and their links with children and childhoods, exploring young people's own conceptualisations of social inclusion and exclusion and examining how these concepts have been expressed in policy at various levels. The book concludes with an agenda for progressing participation and social inclusion, both for and with children and young people. You can access further information about this title on our website.
