Synopsis

The contributors to this edited volume explore the ethical, methodological, and practical challenges in conducting child protection research with deaf and disabled children and young people. What are the child protection concerns for deaf and disabled children and young people? What are their views about the child protection system? How can we measure if we have made a difference in ending child abuse and neglect? These questions and others are at the forefront of policy, practice and research debates internationally. Contributions draw on examples of child protection and disability research from an international spectrum of leading research in both the child protection and the disability fields.As with other titles in this series the book is written for postgraduate students and academics from a range of disciplines, particularly in health, social care and education.
