Despite its importance, youth policy is an often-ignored area of
Government planning and legislation, and policy initiatives seem to
lack any guiding theme or relevance to the needs of young people.
In Youth Policy in the 1990s originally published in 1992, the
editors brought together prominent experts in the key areas of
youth policy at the time. They provide a critical review of the
major issues which implicitly or explicitly affect the world of
adolescents and examine to what extent they paint a picture of
existing youth policy. The aim was to provide a baseline for a
policy on youth in the 1990s. The book recommends the introduction
of a Minister for Young People and the use of youth impact
statements at national and local level and seeks to provide
information and argument for those seeking to plan policy for young
people from a corporate or inter-agency perspective. The
contributors are all recognized experts in their fields. They
tackle their topic first by examining the historical perspective,
with a special concentration on the previous decade. Each has paid
regard to particular themes - ethnicity, class and gender, and
where possible, has brought in material from other countries and
cultures. They have then put forward suggestions for future policy.
This title was first published in 2001: Family centre practice is
one of the success stories of the past twenty years. As well as
contributing creative ideas to centre practice this important
edited collection highlights the role of practitioners as
developmental or informal educationalists. International
contributors challenge care management in child protection as the
dominant discourse in child care social work and instead advance
integrated practice in the internationally developing role of
family centres as a more authentic and hopeful practice for
children and families. The contributors outline ways of avoiding
reductionism - social work reduced to a protective and assessment
role - and show how socially inclusive practice can be sustained
with very marginalized families. The book argues that there is a
need for the social work training curriculum to emphasize social
work's debt to social and informal education, and concludes with a
call for an international forum of family centre practice.
