First published in 1999, this volume is a collection of essays
focused on the theme of partnership with parents in social work
practice with children and families. It covers issues relating to
the quality of care and preparation for aftercare, particularly
children's identity needs and preparation for life after care which
are highlighted in the Quality Protects programme. It developed
from an action research project, funded by the Joseph Rowntree
Foundation and conducted by the editors a Warwick University
between 1993 and 1996. Through teaching activities associated with
the implementation of the Children Act 1989 the editors became
aware that there were many parents who had lost contact with both
their child and their child's social workers after their child had
entered the care system. These were the 'lost' parents of the
study. Partnership with parents has become an integral part of
social work with children and families living together or apart.
Inevitably it concerns many other people involved in the care of
children and providing advice to individuals. Partnership permeates
all aspects of relationships between parents, children and those
providing care in place of parents. Consequently, the issues
discussed in this book are of relevance to all those working
directly or indirectly with children, parents and other relatives.
Amongst these are social workers, family placement workers, carers
and residential workers, team managers and policy makers in local
authority social services departments, guardians ad litem, court
welfare officers and lawyers acting for children or parents,
children's rights officers and advisers working in voluntary
agencies which support families and children.

This cross-national study provides a comparative analysis of
different understandings of errors and mistakes and approaches to
dealing with them in child protection practice, using research and
knowledge from eleven countries in Europe and North America.
Divided into country-specific chapters, each examines the pathways
that lead to mistakes happening, the scale of their impact, how
responsibilities and responses are decided, how practice and policy
subsequently change and the lessons that we can learn.
How we distribute our assets after death is no longer a question for a small wealthy section of society: increasing numbers of people must now decide how to structure wills and to bequeath money and possessions across generations: not only to family and kin but to charities and institutions also. This path-breaking study offers an empirical study of 800 English wills and uses the material to reflect upon what they tell us of contemporary family and kin relationships. It will be of great interest to lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists and social historians.
