Listening and Believing: An Examination of Young People’s Perceptions of why they are not Believed by Professionals when they Report Abuse and Neglect
This article explores commonly held perceptions by young people as to why they are sometimes not believed by practitioners when reporting potential or actual instances of abuse or neglect. Using original data gained from telephone, individual and group interviews with over a hundred young people a ‘typology of disbelief’ was constructed and is here presented for consideration. By drawing attention to a range of perceptions frequently articulated …
Hearing the Voices of Children: Social Policy for a New Century
From the nineteenth century onwards child welfare policies in England have been based on the perception of children either as vulnerable, and thus in need of protection (the child as victim) or as impulsive/ unsocialised, and thus in need of guidance and control (the child as threat) (Hendrick, 1994). Both law and policy relating to children and their families reveal an underlying ambivalence when deciding what should be done for and about childr…

Extending the Social Exclusion Debate: An Exploration of the Family Lives of Young Carers and Young People with Me
In this article the authors explore the day-to-day lives of two groups of young people. Both were the subject of research activities carried out between 1997 and 2000. The outcomes of that work into the lives of young carers and young people with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) have been extensively documented elsewhere; here we draw out some of the common factors that serve to socially isolate and exclude young people who are heavily reliant on, …
Beyond Problematisation—Young People, Citizenship and a New Approach to Service Delivery
This article considers the citizenship claims of young people and the consequences of these claims for the delivery of services to young people. In doing so, an analysis is offered as to how various problematising discourses of youth have shaped matters of policy formulation and service delivery. Although recent responses to service development have argued for the introduction of participative and empowering forms of practice, it largely remains …
Making the Link: Dual ‘Problematization’, Discourse and Work with Young People
This article seeks to establish a specific connection between the experiences of young people and those who work with them in the UK. Building on the work of Griffin (1993), the concept of dual ‘problematization’ is developed to demonstrate how a state-sponsored ideological agenda of surveillance, control and regulation has been extended beyond its original focus on ‘problematic youth’, in an attempt to influence the priorities and strategies of …
