Description
Family Support as Reflective Practice explores an increasingly important approach to welfare services for children and families. Underpinned by reflective practice values, this book provides a structured framework around four key themes: conceptual frameworks and vocabulary, policy and organisational structures and processing, tools for creative practice, and approaches to evaluation.
Contributors from around the world share international perspectives on core issues in family support, including the importance of community, the role of statutory and voluntary agencies, youth advocacy, culturally appropriate family support, child protection, disability services, and effective means of evaluation. This book offers a combination of clear theoretical frameworks and practical guidance, with a strong emphasis on evaluation.
Of interest to social workers, care staff, teachers, community development professionals, police officers, students, policy-makers, evaluators, and anyone working in family support, this book provides valuable insights and guidance for those seeking to develop and deliver effective services for children and families.
