First published in 1999, this book is based on an extensive
research study of the experiences of eighty-three families and the
range of professionals involved in initial child protection
conferences, this book explores the opportunities and difficulties
of working in partnership in child protection within the context of
rights, justice and empowerment. The research identifies what
families find helpful and unhelpful in the intervention, as well as
analysing the difficulties faced by practitioners. In exploring the
families experience, the author provides a concrete base for a
much-needed clarification of the nature of and limitations on
partnership practice within child protection. Equally, the analysis
of professional perspectives on current procedures and the agency
structures in place to support them provides insight into key intra
and inter agency issues, including training. The Identification of
the conflicts and ambiguities which are inherent in the particular
system, and with which the professional struggle is of particular
interest to social work practioners and their managers, as well as
to academics and other researchers in the field. The book,
therefore, contributes to the debate about what constitutes good
practice in this complex field and, while affirming some of the
strengths of the existing system, suggests some ways in which both
the families and professionals who work with them can be better
supported.
