Special thanks
The Module Team would also like to acknowledge and thank all the children whose lives and experiences have informed our learning. We have not included children’s voices directly in the module. We hope that their experiences speak through our accounts of their lives but we are aware that we are not hearing their voices directly. The case studies and stories about children are mostly fictional (based on our experiences) or are anonymized with the exception of Eilidh. Thank you to parents who have enabled us to describe their children’s lives.
Every effort has been made to contact copyright holders. If any have been inadvertently overlooked the publishers will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements at the first opportunity.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to the following sources:
