Working in group care (ie residential and day services) is a
challenging and complex task, demanding great skill, patience,
knowledge and understanding. This book explains how best practice
can be achieved through the focused and engaged work of individuals
and teams who are well supported and managed. Detailed attention is
paid to the value of everyday practice and its underlying
principles. The book brings together theory, practice and research
findings from across the whole field of group care for all
user-groups - including health, education and probation settings as
well as social work and social care. The first edition was warmly
welcomed as 'well organised and accessible ... and a valuable
addition to the literature' (British Journal of Social Work). This
second edition is updated and expanded, including substantial new
material on the concept of 'opportunity led work'. The book will be
an essential text for all those involved in residential and day
care practice whether as practitioners, students, managers or
trainers. It argues strongly for seeing group care as valuable and
skilled work and for a holistic understanding of good practice.
