PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF CHILDHOOD ...

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This open access book explores how children
parents  and survivors reshaped the politics of child protection in late twentieth-century
England. Activism by these groups  often manifested in small voluntary organisations  drew upon
and constructed an expertise grounded in experience and emotion that supported  challenged  and
subverted medical  social work  legal  and political authority. New forms of experiential and
emotional expertise were manifested in politics - through consultation  voting  and lobbying -
but also in the reshaping of everyday life  and in new partnerships formed between voluntary
spokespeople and media. While becoming subjects of  and agents in  child protection politics
over the late twentieth century  children  parents  and survivors also faced barriers to
enacting change  and the book traces how long-standing structural hierarchies  particularly
around gender and age  mediated and inhibited the realisation of experiential and emotional
expertise.
