Explore legal issues that often hinder the work of child welfare
practitioners! Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A Critical and
Interpretive Perspective is a revolutionary study of the child
welfare system that is essential for practitioners, educators, and
students interested in public child welfare work. It examines the
legal system surrounding child welfare workers and highlights their
need for agency-specific training. This insightful book challenges
the traditional rules of child welfare and paves the way for
alternate methods of conceptualizing and organizing child
protection. It explores why many family interventions fail and
others never even occur. By identifying incongruities between the
philosophy of child welfare and its function, this book advocates a
more individualistic and efficient technique for assisting clients.
Addressing issues and challenges from the initial identification of
problems to navigating the legal system, this book is also thorough
enough for public child welfare workers who want to take their
skills to the next level. The large-system perspective in this book
uses the concentric circle model, the rational legal model of legal
and court action, and the ritualized process model to examine child
welfare practice. Learn why terms such as child abuse and neglect
have become social constructions that vary depending on the values
of social workers, judges, attorneys, agencies, and communities.
Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A Critical and Interpretive
Perspective examines the standardization of the organizational
activities of child welfare systems and how this limits
professionals' ability to accurately recognize unique problems and
intervene in the most beneficial manner. Child Welfare in the Legal
Setting also provides controversial opinions on emerging issues
including: family investigations sanction for Child Protective
Services intervention the legal setting as a host environment the
function of the child welfare system rationalization of child
welfare intervention trained incapacity of social workers Title IVE
programs the court system Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A
Critical and Interpretive Perspective identifies vital issues by
analyzing the ethical and moral foundations of the child welfare
system. This insightful book also takes a close look at how
practitioners inadvertently devalue their clients by using language
that creates stigmatized social categories such as victim and
convicted felon. Supervisors, managers, social workers and child
welfare practitioners will benefit from this information. The
vignettes that supplement the narrative also make the book an
important resource in any child welfare course.
