Abstract

This chapter will address the anxiety relating to the concepts of risk and inequality and their impact on social policy as well as on the relationships between adults and children in both personal and professional scenarios. The chapter will start by defining what we mean by the terms risk and inequality before exploring the critical connections between them. Using three examples, we will highlight aspects of risk and inequality that are part of the lived experience of many children and seek to understand and challenge the underlying beliefs and lack of action.
