Containment - exploring the concept of agency in children's statutory encounters with social workers
2019
This article examines children’s agency in their interactions with social workers during
statutory encounters in a child protection context. It draws from a UK wide ethnographic
study. It finds that much of social workers’ responses to children’s agency in this context are
best understood as a form of ‘containment’. In doing so, it offers an original and significant
contribution to the theoretical understanding of children’s agency, as well as its application in
social work practice.
