Optimal development for the children of prisoners? How children with a parent in prison are supported and why it matters
This article examines the need and types of support for children with a parent in prison, the measures in place to know who they are and the consequences of associated policies for their development. These are discussed within a cultural‐historical child development framework and, within that, questions are raised about optimal development and children's rights. The article is grounded in a mixed‐methods study of a support service for children of…
Silent voices

Creative methods to engage with children have also been developed. One area where progress has been slower is the inclusion of children's perspectives in qualitative research in the context of clinical trials or feasibility studies. Addressing this gap, this article discusses …

Social Constructions of Young Children in ‘Special’, ‘Inclusive’ and Home Environments
The paper tells of the social constructs surrounding young children with learning difficulties in their home, ‘special’ early education setting and ‘inclusive’ or mainstream early education setting in England. The exploratory study focused on how three‐ to four‐year‐old children made sense of their environments and how their identities were constructed by different parties in the different contexts. Ethnographic case studies were conducted using …
The social experience of early childhood for children with learning disabilities
This paper tells of the social experiences of three four‐year‐old children with learning disabilities as they negotiate their daily lives in their homes and early education settings in England. We apply a social model of childhood disability to the relatively unexplored territory of young children and use vignettes drawn from video observation to explore the interactive spaces contained in settings with different cultures of inclusion. Using a mu…
