Description - Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work by Iain Ferguson
In the UK alone some 140,000 young people live away from home in a wide range of residential, boarding and custodial establishments. Care of these children and young people has been subject to much recent legislation about quality of care and child protection issues, as well as a drive towards evidence-based standards. This innovative book identifies the key elements of good management and practice common to all residential child care settings, whether hospital unit, boarding school, children's home, special school or custodial care establishment. The author outlines a model developed under the auspices of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and based on over 40 years experience in practice and research in over 450 residential settings. The main components of the model are: * the environment * the legal framework * developmental issues * time-related issues. In each case the key factors for practice and management are discussed and key roles and outcomes identified.
This book is invaluable reading for anyone working with children and young people in all forms of residential and boarding education and care, and for students of childcare at undergraduate and post-qualifying levels, in the UK and internationally. The framework can be readily applied to training, assessment of standards, inspections, and research and development.
