Managing Children's Homes focuses on leadership, effective
management, the allocation of resources, and ensuring positive
outcomes for young people in residential care. The book develops an
interdisciplinary understanding of what needs to be taken into
account when establishing and maintaining good practice on behalf
of young people living in children's homes. The authors explain the
considerable variation in quality achieved by children's homes and
how this relates to management style, working environment and staff
structures. The skills and qualities that make effective managers
of homes are explored. These, along with factors such as the
provision of resources, are investigated to demonstrate how to
attain a successful children's home environment and longer-term
achievement for looked-after children. Based on innovative,
DfES-funded, interdisciplinary research, this book will be
essential reading for staff and managers in children's care homes
and will also be of interest to students, policy-makers and
directors of social services.
