Recent legislative changes in England and Wales have eroded children’s ability to exercise their article 12 UNCRC rights to information, consultation and representation when parents separate. However, children’s voices may be heard through child-inclusive mediation (CIM). Considered from a children’s rights perspective, this book provides a critical socio-legal account of CIM practice. It draws on in-depth interviews with relationship professionals, mediators, parents and children, to consider the experiences, risks and benefits of CIM. It investigates obstacles to greater uptake of CIM and its role in improving children’s wellbeing and agency. Exploring the culture and practice changes necessary for a more routine application of CIM, the book demonstrates how reconceptualising CIM through a children’s rights framework could help to address barriers and improve outcomes for children. 2024-05-29T09:51:55Z 2024-05-29T09:51:55Z 2024 book 9781529228915 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/90599 eng application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781529228939_web.pdf 9781529228922_EPUB.epub https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/childrens-voices-family-disputes-and-child-inclusive-mediation Bristol University Press 10.47674/9781529228939 10.47674/9781529228939 1c3eed4f-33ba-4e18-91b5-cf9a96ff57ee 9781529228915 199 Bristol open access
