Inhaltsangabe

How do you support young children's right to participate? How do you listen and respond to children in your own practice and within your setting? This text provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to children’s participative rights in the context of education and care. It supports early years students and practitioners to understand the implications of the UNCRC participation rights for practice and the tensions that exist when trying to realise children’s right to be heard in practice. Exploring the key concepts, debates and participation in practice with children at different ages and stages, the chapters cover:

· The policy context for participative rights

· Models of participation

· Voice and being heard

· Participation and the social construction of the child

· Spaces for participation

· Agency and participation

· Measuring participation

· International contexts for child participation

Supported by case studies and examples, this is an essential text for practitioners and students on Early Childhood Studies and Early Years degree courses, as well as those working in Early Childhood settings or studying as post-graduates.
