Description and Table of Contents
Description
In recent years, children's legislation has been substantially revised in all parts of the UK. The Nordic countries have gone through a very similar process and examined comparable issues to those addressed in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, no UK observer can fail to be struck by the priority accorded in Nordic countries to family policy and the place of children within it, and to the resources that the community is prepared to invest in services required to meet these commitments. This book draws together a range of contributions from practitioners and policy makers in the UK and Nordic countries, in which the similarities and differences in approach to these issues are revealed.
