Social capital, children and young people is about the relationships and networks - social capital - that children and young people have in and out of school.Social capital has become of increasing interest to policy makers but there has been little evidence of how it operates in practice. In this unique collection, the social capital of children and young people, and in one case parents and teachers, is explored in a wide range of formal and informal settings.The contributors to the book, who include academic researchers and educational professionals, provide in-depth accounts of social capital being developed and used by children and young people. They offer critical reflections on the significance of social capital and on the experiences of researching the social capital of sometimes vulnerable people.This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with how children and young people get along, get by and get on.
Julie Allan is Professor of Education and Deputy Head of the School of Education, University of Stirling, Scotland. She is also Visiting Professor at the University of Borås, Sweden.
Ralph Catts is a research consultant and previously was a senior research fellow in the School of Education, University of Stirling, and was the Senior Research Fellow for the Schools and Social Capital Network within the Applied Educational Research Scheme in Scotland.
