For anyone studying childhood or families a consideration of the
state may not always seem obvious, yet a good critical knowledge of
politics, social policy and social theory is vital to understanding
their impacts upon families' everyday lives. Accessibly written and
assuming no prior understanding, it shows how key concepts,
including vulnerability, risk, resilience, safeguarding and
wellbeing are socially constructed. Carefully designed to support
learning, it provides students with clear guidance on how to use
what they have read when writing academic assignments alongside
questions designed to support the develop of critical thinking
skills. Covering issues from what the family is within a
multicultural society, through issues around poverty, social
mobility and life-chances, this book gives students an excellent
grounding in matters relating to work with children and families.
It features: * 'using this chapter' sections showing how the
content can be used in assignments; * tips on applying critical
thinking to books and articles - and how to make use of such
thinking in essays; * further reading.
