The international team of contributors to this book explore the debates and disputes surrounding the policies and documents which set out aspirational outcomes and benefits for children, their families and wider society. They argue that if these issues are not explicitly acknowledged, understood, and critiqued, emerging policies may potentially lead to disadvantaging, marginalising and even pathologising certain childhoods.
