Recent residential care revelations, recent legislation and policy
directions (The Children's Act, Community Care), and the
introduction of training courses mean that residential care
practice is under national focus. "The Handbook of Residential
Care" addresses the particular problems experienced by residential
staff by bringing together many areas of work, different jobs and
responsibilities, in a variety of perspectives and settings and
addresses the challenges they face. In this practical guide, the
author has brought together a combination of real examples and case
studies, analysis, guidance and reflective discussion to present a
complete examination of working in a residential setting, both for
the elderly and for children. John Burton examines the fundamentals
of the work such as time management, keeping a diary, first contact
with a new resident, creating the right environment, building
relationships with children, and management styles. He also gives
specific examples of the day-to-day running of a residential centre
such as the instigation of a non-smoking policy and the management
of bed times in children's residential care.
