Description: Balancing a child's welfare interests and rights so as to ensure recognition and respect for his or her autonomous identity while facilitating family unity has become a major challenge for modern family law. This book following on from The Principle of the Welfare of the Child: A History examines contrasts and compares the response of England and Wales and Ireland to that challenge. It does so by applying the same matrix of indicators to explore in each country the distinction between welfare interests and rights and to trace changes in the balance between them. By profiling the nations in accordance with the same indicators it reveals important jurisdictional differences in the extent to which welfare interests or rights determine how the law is currently applied to children.
