Description
Understanding Residential Child Care by Nick Frost and Sue Mills provides a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of residential child care. Written against the backdrop of a crisis in the system, this book aims to understand and respond to the challenges facing residential child care. The authors examine the history and development of residential child care, analyse current legislative frameworks, and explore research findings. They also investigate key issues such as empowerment, staff supervision, abuse in care, and leaving care. A central concept throughout the book is empowerment, which is seen as a framework for improving residential child care environments. This book concludes by suggesting ways forward for residential child care, with a focus on creating positive and protective environments that promote the best interests of children.
