Children have a much higher chance of permanently leaving care if
they have strong family and peer group links outside their care
home. Reflecting current political and policy priorities,
Residential Child Care focuses on new developments designed to
promote these family and network relationships. The book examines
both care policies and individual schemes which involve families
and other network members in the planning and care of children
looked after in residential units or children's homes. The book
provides guidelines on how to broaden the focus of residential care
from staff-children relationships within the institution to more
diffuse social networks of family and peers and outlines the
principles which underpin the new emphasis on external social
contacts.
Including examples of innovatory ideas and good practice from
abroad, Residential Child Care shows why encouraging families to
maintain an active role in the welfare of their children in care is
so important, and explores the implications for child welfare
systems as well as individual establishments, managers and
practitioners.
