This book provides a critical account of British social policy since 1945 from the perspective of the child. Using the UN convention on the Rights of the Child as a yardstick, it examines a wide range of policy areas including health, education, housing, social security, child care and protection. It concludes with suggestions for making policy more child-centred. It will be of interest to a wide range of professionals and to anyone who is concerned with children's welfare.

'...this is a readable and thought-provoking book which takes a fresh look at a range of familiar policies. It serves as an interesting and challenging yardstick by which the effects of policies concerning children may be judged over the next few years.' - Roger Southard, The Lecturer
