In 1778, New York state patriots forced colonists loyal to the
British government to flee north into what became Ontario and
Quebec. Many of the defiant young British Americans soon returned
south as soldiers, spies and scouts to fight for their
multigenerational farms along the Mohawk River, Lake Champlain and
the Hudson River Valley. Eventually defeated, they were banished
from their ancestral homelands forever. Mark Jodoin offers an
enlightened look back at ten young men and women who were forced
north into what became Ontario and Quebec, sharing the struggles
that these Loyalists faced during our nation's founding.
With a foreword by First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, this
book is the first to offer an in-depth look into what makes the
Welsh Social Work context unique. It includes the move towards
joint children, families and adult provision and the emphasis on
early intervention, future generations and partnership
considerations. Covering the subject knowledge required by the
Welsh regulator, Social Care Wales, it provides essential reading
for students and practising social workers in Wales, and rich
contextual analysis for other international social work
practitioners and writers. Each chapter includes: * dialogue on the
distinctive 'Welsh Way' that underpins the nation's social work
approach; * focus on application: responses and implications for
professional practice; * the 'giving of voice' section:
demonstrating the key emphasis in Welsh practice of ensuring that
multiple stakeholder perspectives are actively heard; * key
resources for further independent exploration of the topics.
First published in 1979, this book concerns itself primarily with
the mothers of mentally handicapped children. It discusses the
problems of assistance that they may have experienced from their
families, the community, or the available services. Whilst arguing
for far more support for mothers when they are the main carer, this
book also suggests reasons why some families are more easily able
to cope with the problems of caring for severely handicapped
children. This study is based on research that was conducted for
and funded by the Department of Health and Social Security between
1973 and 1976.

Middlesex University, UK "This is a comprehensive text which
explores the legislative, cultural and historic context in which
today's child protection has been shaped. Building on previous
editions, it provides a valuable and up-to-date insight into
contemporary child protection practice." Rebecca Avery, Education
Safeguarding Advisor (Online Protection), The Education People "How
did we get to where we are in our response to child abuse - and
what might the future hold? This book provides a timely,
comprehensive and thoughtful response to this question;
demonstrating the importance of understanding our journey to
present day practices if we are to improve the protection of
children in the future. Integrating historical, sociological,
psychological and biological perspectives, and grappling with the
ethical as well as practical challenges of child abuse responses,
the authors provide us with an overview upon which we must learn
from past successes, as well as tragedies, as we utilise and
further build an evidence base for confident social work practices
around the world. " Dr Carlene Firmin, Principal Research Fellow in
Contextual Safeguarding, University of Bedfordshire, UK
Drawing on 20 years of practical experience, research and teaching
in the field, this book is a comprehensive guide on the use of
Motivational Interviewing (MI) in child protection and family
social work. MI increases the likelihood of behavioural change,
working with client resistance to encourage a constructive
environment when initiating difficult conversations. This makes it
particularly effective for child and family social care. Drawing on
over 500 studies spanning 11 local authorities, this book uses
recordings of real meetings between social workers and families to
explain what MI is, how it can be used in child and family social
work and how to improve MI skills. An invaluable resource for
frontline child protection and family social workers, this book
will enable to help you to better understand the needs of the
people you support and be more effective in providing the right
kind of support.

How can social workers develop their critical analysis skills? What
role does critical analysis play in the day-to-day activities of a
social worker? And can we critically analyse in isolation? The
ability to analyse contexts, scenarios and service users through a
critical lens is vital to effective social work practice. Despite
this, many social workers attempt to analyse situations alone,
missing marks of significance. This book, written by two senior
academics and practitioners who, at the time, were in the midst of
their PhDs, offers a basis step-by-step model that busy social
workers can use to develop a more critical and analytical mindset.
It shows how analysis can be woven throughout the whole process of
social work engagement, resulting in more effective
decision-making, more efficient ways of working and, ultimately,
better outcomes for social work service users. This is achieved by
ways of handy tools, case studies and dilemmas, research summaries,
and exercises and reflections points to tackle alone or with a
colleague. Topics covered include: What analysis is, and why it is
such an important skill in social work practice. The skills that
underpin critical analysis, such as time management, planning,
critical understanding, logical thinking, research-mindedness,
creativity, communication, reflection and hypothesising. The role
of emotion and intuition in critical analysis. The importance of
supervision and team or supervised analysis. *** This book forms
part of the Social Work Skills in Practice series. The series
focuses on key social work skills required for working with
children and adult service users, families and carers. The books
offer both theoretical and evidence-informed knowledge, alongside
the application of skills relevant for day-to-day social work
practice. They are an invaluable resource for pre-qualifying
students, newly-qualified social workers, academics teaching and
researching in the field, as well as social work practitioners,
including practice educators, pursuing continuous professional
development. *** "A timely and appropriate post-Munro book for
social workers at all levels of experience. The chapter on emotion,
intuition and critical analysis is a particularly welcome addition
to the subject. A really useful book." Dr Jane Reeves, Director of
Studies, M.A. Child Protection, Co-Director Centre for Child
Protection, University of Kent, UK
This book examines the experiences of disabled people on public
transport to reveal the everyday abuses that many experience there,
and the resilience that they need in order to conduct an ordinary
life. This work represents an intertwining of personal journeys,
with its author writing from first-hand experience, and now working
as one of the leading researchers of disability hate crime (DHC) in
the UK. DHC is an under-researched area and the findings in this
book have implications beyond the public transport context. This
book draws on a sample of 56 victim-participants and includes data
drawn from public transport regulators, service operators and staff
in the UK. Wilkin argues that established legislation needs to be
recognised and implemented by regulatory and local authorities in
order to reach equality objectives on public transport. Each
chapter is clearly structured, accessibly written and includes key
definitions which will speak to practitioners and academics with an
interest in victimology, policing, social policy, gender studies,
disability studies, migration studies, equality studies and
religious studies. This book also examines how effectively
authorities and service providers safeguard disabled people on UK
public transport and reveals adaptive approaches to researching
with disabled people.
