Abstract: | All children and their families have a right to CW services that ensure their equal opportunities. However, due to structural, social, and cultural barriers, CW services are not equally accessible for all families. This is particularly true for disabled children and their families. The aim of this paper is to highlight the potentials of a European comparison of inclusive CW services to disabled children and their families. For this purpose, CW is approached from a human rights perspective, theories on childhood dis/ability and intersectionality theory. Perspectives from Austria, Iceland and Ireland are introduced, analysed through an intersectional human rights lens, and then compared. An argument is made for a European analysis of social policy (and subsequently social work practice) regarding inclusive CW services. Three insights that can be gained from such research are discussed: (1) the inclusivity of CW services for disabled children and their families, (2) the relevance of intersecting social positions of disabled children and their families for the provision and receipt of CW services, and (3) the role of CW policy and practice in constructing abledness in terms of normatised childhoods as the basis for service provision. |
