The effects of conflict and emergencies on children can be devastating, both physically and psychologically. They need special understanding and support to help them through the crisis and deal with the future. "Communicating with Children" aims to help those working in conflict situations and emergencies to develop their listening with special needs. It deals with the importance of understanding different cultural ways of communicating and coping with stress, overcoming blocks in communication, giving comfort, talking to families, preventing "burn-out", and more. Using case histories to ilustrate the problems facing children, this manual suggests ways of resolving them. Practical exercises and details of how to run workshops allow readers to develop the ideas outlined. "Communicating with Children" is the second in a series of development manuals and should be a valuable tool for all those involved in developing services, as well as training and supervising others. This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter on vulnerable children.

Across Europe the challenge of providing Roma/Gypsy and traveller children with access to quality education is not being met. Many school systems continue to marginalize Roma/Gypsy and traveller children, thereby effectively denying them the chance to reach their full potential. The "Denied a Future?" report examines 14 countries across Europe, from west to east. It highlights the impact that a lack of personal security and freedom of movement, poverty and powerlessness all have on access to education for Roma/Gypsy and traveller children. "Denied a Future?" highlights the fact that, despite a raft of international and national legislation, institutional discrimination and ill-designed policies often result in unacceptably low standards of education for Roma/Gypsy and traveller children. Their education is often irrelevant to their lives and the needs of modern economies. "Denied a Future?" places the issue in the context of the enlargement of the European Union and provides a benchmark against which future donor investments can be assessed.  Clear recommendations provide targets for policy-makers, educational practitioners, governments, donors and non-governmental organizations to ensure over 2 million children's right to education is finally made a reality. The four volumes of "Denied a Future?" are Volume 1 "South-eastern Europe", Volume 2 "Western and Central Europe", an "International legislation" handbook and the "Summary".
