This book powerfully sets out the case for Transitional
Safeguarding, a new approach to protection and safeguarding
designed to address the needs and behaviours of young people aged
15-24 who are falling between gaps in current systems, with often
devastating results. Addressing the gaps in the current system, it
outlines how the specific needs of young people can be met through
this approach. Written by leading experts in this area with strong
practice networks, it presents up-to-date evidence for its
effectiveness, and also uses examples from practice to illustrate
the ways in which services are beginning to address these issues.
Feminist social work has clear goals to expose and critically
analyse gendered power as a dynamic, historic, and structural
concept embedded in our world, and to mobilise and take social
action to challenge that power. This is integral to a commitment to
the core values of the social work profession, which include a
commitment to human rights, social justice and professional
integrity. This edited collection brings a range of academic and
practitioner scholarship to centre feminist theories, values and
knowledge as they apply to social work practice, theory and
education. It engages with feminist thinking to re-emphasise and
refocus the centrality of gender and its intersections with other
axes of identities such as social class, race, disability,
sexuality and age, for understanding and analysing social work
practice. This collection is a timely reminder of what feminist
inquiry has to offer social work to successfully address
contemporary challenges and is applicable to practitioners,
scholars, educators, students and other key care professionals and
policy makers.
Social work and social care continue to face an unprecedented
period of challenge and uncertainty, requiring the development of
leadership capabilities at every level of the workforce as well as
in the community. This critical and reflexive book looks closely at
the pivotal but demanding role that leadership and management play
in promoting social work and social care. It focuses particularly
on the value that is potentially created when the human
relationships between people delivering and people using public
services are effective, and the conditions are present to nourish
confidence, inspire self-esteem, unlock potential and erode
inequality. Aimed at new, aspiring and experienced managers, and
senior practitioners, it draws on a range of disciplines not
typically found in social work and social care and encourages
readers to broaden their examination of leadership in areas such as
the design of organisations, the role of service users in
leadership practice and the phenomena of dignity within the context
of organisational culture and dignity.

Unparalleled in its coverage of concepts and themes, this textbook
uses insights from across sociology, psychology, criminology and
other areas of expertise to show how children and young people
negotiate crucial challenges and transitions in their lives. It
considers a wide range of theories, issues and practice dimensions
and clearly shows how they connect, with fresh insights on topics
including mental health, bereavement and disability in children.

sensitive practice and placing an emphasis on thinking critically
and practicing reflectively throughout, this book also: * includes
helpful chapter introductions, summaries and annotated further
readings; * features a range of case studies, linking theory to
practice; * provides active learning exercises, enabling you to
apply and consolidate learning. With a companion volume that
addresses human growth and development in adults, this is an
invaluable tool for students as well as a useful refresher resource
for experienced practitioners.
