No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781914608995

This authoritative study is the first devoted to Permanence Orders. It comprehensively describes the court process from initiation to conclusion. It guides the practitioner from considering the available orders into considering the rules governing the application. The form of evidence required is described before an examination of the expanding caselaw detailing the thresholds of the different orders, the role of welfare and contact. The book concludes with consideration of expenses and the exacting hurdles attaching to appeals.

Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law
<em>The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law</em> presents cutting-edge scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in law, medicine, social work, sociology, education, and philosophy, and by practitioners in law and medicine. An international collection of authors presents and analyzes the law and science pertaining to reproduction&#x3b; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion)&#x3b; parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, the status of gamete donors, and surrogacy)&#x3b; infant development and vulnerability&#x3b; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect)&#x3b; child protection policy and systems&#x3b; foster care&#x3b; child custody disputes between parents or between parents and other caregivers&#x3b; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulation of private schools, and homeschooling)&#x3b; delinquency&#x3b; minimum-age laws&#x3b; and child advocacy. Most chapters follow a format wherein they first describe the most debated or dynamic issues in each topical area, then explain in depth the law and/or science pertaining to the author's particular focus, and finally offer arguments and recommendations as to law and policy in that area. The normative component aims to advance discussions and debates in vital areas of contemporary child welfare law and policy. The <em>Handbook</em> is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.
