Children's Welfare and the Law Summary

Children's Welfare and the Law: The Limits of Legal Intervention by Michael King

This book exposes the growing concern that the law and the legal system is dominating the professionals involved in promoting children's welfare and obscuring the real needs of children. King and Trowell see the law as a limited and sometimes inappropriate institution for promoting children's welfare. They argue that many issues only reach the courts because of inadequate preventive measures and machinery for conflict resolution. They conclude with an exploration of successful child care and protection systems operating in countries outside the UK.

Table of Contents

How the law treats children; the social and economic context; parenthood and children as seen by the clinic and as fought over in court; the court as marital battleground; child sexual abuse in court and in the clinic; experts, lawyers and the court experience; responding to children's needs - an issue of law?; what kind of decision-making system?
