Abstract

The wellbeing of children has captured the attention of practitioners, theorists, policy-makers and researchers throughout history and across the globe. Whilst the best interests of children have been at the heart of this endeavour, the construct of 'the best interests of the child' is ill-defined, has been subjectively enacted by professional adults, is subject to social change in attitudes and values, and children themselves have not always been actively included in the decision-making processes considering their wellbeing.
