This innovative and timely book examines the nature and meaning of
'empowerment' in child welfare and protection, using the family
group conference (FGC) approach to decision making as an example.
In response to the growing clamour for 'evidence-based practice',
the book addresses the central question of how the idea of
empowerment can be operationalised and evaluated. One of the aims
of FGCs is to empower children and their families by enabling them
more effectively to participate in the decision-making process and
by affording them greater control over the outcomes of that
process. Empowering practice? critically assesses the available
evidence on the empowerment potential of FGCs and examines the
implications of the approach for professionals, their agencies and
the children and families involved. Empowering practice? is
essential reading for academics and professionals working in a wide
range of health, education and social care areas.
