Residential Child Care in Practice : Making a Difference Paperback / softback
by Mark (Social Work, School of Social) Smith, Leon Fulcher, Peter Doran
Part of the Social Work in Practice series
Paperback / softback
Description
Written by experienced practitioners and academics, this is a core text about the practice of residential child care.
It takes as its starting point the fact that residential child care involves workers and children sharing a common lifespace, in which the quality of interpersonal relationships is key. Each chapter highlights relevant policy guidance and is developed around a practice scenario, discussing key knowledge skills and values relating to its theme.
This highly practical book should, therefore, be of value to a range of students at different academic levels, from VQ to Masters, and to practitioners and managers in residential child care.
The book draws on ideas from child and youth care and social pedagogic traditions and will appeal to a worldwide audience and provides a valuable addition to the emerging literature around social pedagogy.
