This important new book critically examines the complex policy and
practice issues surrounding child protection, including the impact
of theoretical orientations, contemporary debates, policy
initiatives and research findings, and maintains an emphasis on the
ethics and values underpinning child welfare interventions. The
book introduces policies that are central to understanding the
position and needs of children and young people, and how policy and
practice have been influenced by developments including the
children's rights agenda. It also explores the most significant
issues in child welfare. These include: the experience of
maltreatment by children, the systems of child protection to
safeguard them, the methods and challenges of risk assessment, and
the wide range of policy and therapeutic interventions to respond
to children's needs. The book also examines family support to
promote children's wellbeing before considering provision for
children and young people who are looked after in out-of-home care.
There is also a final section that focuses on best practice in
communicating and working with children and young people, drawing
on participatory, rights-oriented and resilience-based approaches,
and supporting foster and adoptive carers and biological parents.
Contributing in a substantive and clear manner to a growing
international conversation about the present function and future
directions for child welfare in contemporary societies, this
textbook will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate
social work students and those from allied disciplines, and
professionals who are engaged in child welfare services.
