This title was first published in 2001: Family centre practice is
one of the success stories of the past twenty years. As well as
contributing creative ideas to centre practice this important
edited collection highlights the role of practitioners as
developmental or informal educationalists. International
contributors challenge care management in child protection as the
dominant discourse in child care social work and instead advance
integrated practice in the internationally developing role of
family centres as a more authentic and hopeful practice for
children and families. The contributors outline ways of avoiding
reductionism - social work reduced to a protective and assessment
role - and show how socially inclusive practice can be sustained
with very marginalized families. The book argues that there is a
need for the social work training curriculum to emphasize social
work's debt to social and informal education, and concludes with a
call for an international forum of family centre practice.
