Published in 1999, Community Approaches to Child Welfare is written
by both practitioners and academics to explore ways in which
community-based, preventative approaches to child welfare can be
used to support families experiencing behavioural problems with
children or undergoing difficulties in raising them. Specific
practice examples developed in Britain, Canada and Sweden provide
an international dimension to this book. Comparing and contrasting
developments within these countries reveal that there are both
similarities in the methods adopted and difference in the ways in
which these are applied. Common themes which appear across the
stories that are presented include: the importance of ensuring
cultural specificity to respond to identity issues and local
traditions; the need to adhere to legislation that is country
specific; the importance of dealing with some child welfare issues
on an international basis, e.g. child abductions; and the
importance of giving children the space within which to articulate
their own 'voice.' Additionally, the book reveals how working with
families from a community perspective which is centered in
acknowledging children's rights and parental rights may challenge
professionals in ways that they find uncomfortable. Nevertheless,
the book concludes that practice can more effectively serve
children's interests if parents and workers work in partnership
with each other.
