Description: The terms wellbeing empowerment and agency are common parlance in policy and practice with children young people and families (CYPF) yet are often misused or not fully understood. Further there is a disconnect between these abstract concepts and tangible practice with CYPF. This book bridges the theory - practice divide offering a clear and definitive guide to concepts and practical ways to develop CYPF wellbeing. It examines the concept of wellbeing and its intrinsic relationship to social justice both theoretically and through case study material and locates these practices within critical pedagogy. The book highlights a range of practice with CYPF of various ages in formal and non - formal learning situations engaged in a range of different programmes including learning reduction from offending social action and tackling targeted needs. Each chapter highlights relevant policy research and practice examples to ensure that the book is relevant to a variety of readers. This book will benefit students and practitioners who work with young people to realise wellbeing and to embed critical pedagogy in their practice. It also provides a frame of reference to critically engage in policy analysis and is essential reading for social workers teachers police support officers and anyone working to support CYPF to become empowered.
