Description: "In Children Taken Seriously, leading researchers and practitioners consider how children can be recognized as social actors rather than passive consumers or victims. Using children's own views and experiences as a starting point, they explore how children can be involved as partners in the decision-making processes that affect them, in social work, education, health care and broader social policies." "This book is a source of insight and ideas for policymakers and practitioners, including social workers, teachers, mental health professionals and others working with children."--BOOK JACKET.
