Eloise Rickman’s new book It’s Not Fair: why it’s time for a grown-up conversation about how adults treat children analyses the ways in which children are ignored, repressed or actively harmed in many aspects of society.
It tackles a wide range of controversial issues including smacking, home schooling, how the education system disadvantages some children and the failure of policymakers to tackle air pollution.
Rickman draws on her professional knowledge of policymaking – she was formerly a government press officer – and personal experiences of parenting and the education system – she has an eight-year-old daughter she home schools – to analyse problems with the current system and put forward ideas for a new approach that prioritises children’s rights.
