Looks behind the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to find out what is actually intended by giving children a right to be involved, and how it was envisaged this would be balanced with their right to promotion of their 'best interests'. Goes on to look at attempts by different countries to accommodate this new right of children, especially within the legal process. Offers a critique of the Council of Europe's attempt to help its member states to do this through the passing of a European Convention on the Exercise of Children's Rights. Explores the attitudes to children's involvement by a number of professionals working with children, and a small group of young people, and offers a framework for decision-making which acknowledges the right of children to be involved in a way which is consistent with their welfare.

Children, their care, education and welfare, might seem to be central to the concerns and culture of the Christian churches. But when conversation turns to the rights of children, why should it be that Christian groups often raise objections? Taking the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as their starting point, the authors go on to study human rights in general, theological concerns talking in terms of rights and to explore how children's rights and human destiny are linked. Resulting from collaboration between a lawyer, specialising in the rights of children, and a Christian theologian, this book aims to inform policy development and enrich human relationships by helping people look critically at how Christian theology, and Christians, view the rights of children.
