Description:

The Children's Law Handbook is the perfect complement for anyone who works with children. The authors have designed a book that provides the reader with comprehensive knowledge of the issues that affect children, and accurate and authoritative information on how these issues are currently being addressed.

The book begins, appropriately, by answering the question, "Who is the child?", and then subsequent chapters delve into more in-depth discussions of the issues surrounding the child in the various fields.

Family - The best interests of the child are at the forefront of decisions involving children in the area of family law. How this is manifested in issues of child custody, support and protection is examined in separated chapters devoted to each.
Criminal - The new Youth Criminal Justice Act and the Criminal Code are at the forefront of chapters that look at such issues as using "reasonable" force to correct children's behaviour and what is a serious violent offence and the use of extra-judicial measures.
Education - Issues such as bullying at school, a school board's duty of care towards a student, and the student's right and/or obligation to attend school are examined in light of various provincial and territorial education legislation.

Professionals and policy makers in this field will find the Children's Law Handbook to be an invaluable resource upon which to draw.
