Description
Working in group care is a complex and demanding task that requires great skill, patience, and knowledge. This book explains how best practice can be achieved through the focused work of individuals and teams who are well supported and managed. It brings together theory, practice, and research findings from across the field of group care, covering various user groups such as health, education, probation, social work, and social care settings. The second edition includes substantial new material on the concept of 'opportunity led work', providing a holistic understanding of good practice in residential and day care services. This book is an essential text for those involved in residential and day care practice, whether as practitioners, students, managers, or trainers. It argues strongly for seeing group care as valuable and skilled work, and provides valuable insights into everyday practice and its underlying principles.
