An informative text likely to promote high quality critical reflection in students focusing on children's rights.
...Excellent supplementary book for the course.
This is a brilliant book. I plan to use the book with second year undergraduate students although I can see I will also be referring to it on other teaching modules also. The different chapters build up to provide a very rounded picture of children's rights. The book is grounded in research and theory and makes very interesting and relevant links to the law.
