A critical introduction to the Troubled Families Programme (TFP),
this book explores the roots, significance and effectiveness of
troubled family approaches in social work. An important strand of
government social policy, the TFP gives rise to a number of ethical
and political questions about assertive outreach, choice, use of
power and eliding the structural inequalities which, it is often
argued, largely account for the difficulties troubled families
face. Social Work with Troubled Families: A Critical Introduction
debates these issues, offers an examination of the systemic
framework which underpins it and looks at the initiative in a
broader context. This interdisciplinary study will be an important
resource for social workers, social work students, practice
educators and academics for its examination of practice methods. As
an exploration of social policy it will appeal to social scientists
and to policy makers along with those who seek to influence them.
Restorative justice (RJ) and restorative approaches (RAs) are
becoming increasingly valued as a way of responding to a wide range
of conflicts, including problem and offending behaviours. The
growth in the use of RJ and RAs has been described as a 'global
social movement' that sets out to repair harm, reduce conflict and
harmonise civil society. This report takes a close look at the
implementation of an RJ approach in the challenging environment of
children's residential care homes. It will appeal to people who are
interested in the use of RJ, particularly its use with children and
young people, as well as those interested in problem and offending
behaviours in relation to children in care.
