Coming to Care offers an original contribution to the understanding
of care and care work in children's services in Britain in the
early twenty first century. It provides fascinating insights into
the factors that influence why people enter and leave care work,
their motivations and the intersection of their work with their
family lives. Focusing on four diverse groups of workers -
residential social workers, foster carers, family support workers
and community childminders - who take on the care of vulnerable
children and young people in the context of relatively low levels
of qualifications, the book examines their life course as care
workers. It explores: the range of factors that attract people into
care work, including the biographical circumstances and the
serendipitous factors that propel them into the work; their
understandings of and commitment to the work; and how their
identities as care workers are created and sustained. The book is
highly relevant to current policy debates about the development of
children's services and reforming the childcare workforce and
offers a range of practical recommendations. It should provide
interesting reading to policy makers and service providers, as well
as academics and students in the childcare and social care fields.
