In their day-to-day practice, social work and human services
practitioners frequently find themselves in confusing ethical
quandaries, trying to balance the numerous competing interests of
protecting children from harm and promoting family and community
capacity. This book explores the ethical issues surrounding child
protection interventions and offers a process-oriented approach to
ethical practice and decision making in child protection and family
welfare practice. Its aim is to prepare students and early-career
professionals for roles in the complex and challenging work of
child protection and family support. Beginning with a critical
analysis and appreciation of the diverse organisational and
cultural contexts of contemporary child protection and ethical
decision-making frameworks, the authors outline a practical
'real-world' model for reshaping frontline ethical practice. Moving
away from a focus on the child apart from the family, the authors
recognise that child safeguarding affects the lives, not just of
children, but also of parents, grandparents and communities.
Working Ethically in Child Protection eschews dominant
rational-technical models for relational ones that are value
centred and focus on family well-being as a whole. Rather than a
single focus on assessing risk and diagnosing deficit, this book
recognises that our child protection systems bear down
disproportionately on those from disadvantaged and marginalised
communities and argues that what is needed is real support and
practical assistance for poor and vulnerable parents and children.
It uses real-world case examples to illustrate the relevant ethical
and practice principles, and ways in which students and
practitioners can practise ethically when dealing with complex,
multi-faceted issues.
