This open access book critically explores what child protection policy and professional practice would mean if practice was grounded in human rights standards. This book inspires a new direction in child protection research – one that critically assesses child protection policy and professional practice with regard to human rights in general, and the rights of the child in particular. Each chapter author seeks to approach the rights of the child from their own academic field of interest and through a comparative lens, making the research relevant across nation-state practices.

The book is split into five parts to focus on the most important aspects of child protection. Thefirstpart explains the origins, aim, and scope of the book; thesecondpart explores aspects of professionalism and organizationthrough law and policy; and thethirdpart discusses several key issues in child protection and professional practice in depth. Thefourthpart discusses selected areas of importance to child protection practices (low-impact in-house measures, public care in residential care and foster care respectively) and thefifthpart provides an analytical summary of the book. Overall, it contributes to the present need for a more comprehensive academic debate regarding the rights of the child, and the supranational perspective this brings to child protection policy and practice across and within nation-states.
