Children’s perspectives on integrated services: every child matters in policy and practice

‘Children’s perspectives on integrated services’ tackles a paramount issue which is still disregarded in many countries because the key proponents do not have a strong voice in our societies: children and youth. Mary Kellett compensates for that by describing the measures taken in England to create integrated services for children and young people, encompassing not only health and social care, but every area children come in contact with during their lives. In order to underline the inclusive approach of the author, every chapter is supplemented by children’s perspectives and research findings reported by children and youth. As such, this book expands the scope of integrated care for children and young people by acknowledging that it takes more than health and education to develop fully, in accordance with one’s talents and preferences.
