Focusing on the urgent need for reform in child detention, this book advocates for a child-centred model that emphasizes the rights of children through provision, protection, participation, preparation, and partnership. It draws on Ireland's transformative experiences in law and policy, blending theoretical frameworks with real-life applications. By presenting a compelling case for a progressive, rights-based approach, it offers practical insights for implementing children's rights in detention settings, making it a valuable resource for international reform efforts.
