@article{ref1, title="Containment: exploring the concept of agency in children's statutory encounters with social workers", journal="Childhood", year="2019", author="Morrison, Fiona and Cree, Viviene and Ruch, Gillian and Winter, Karen Michelle and Hadfield, Mark and Hallett, Sophie", volume="26", number="1", pages="98-112", abstract="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.
