Description:

At a time when placing children and young adults in residential care and foster care is ranking high on the political agenda the need to reflect anti-oppressive practice has never been greater. These essays represent many of the challenges that child and youth care workers have to confront in the new millennium.

Synopsis:

Discussing key contemporary issues in residential and foster care for children, this theoretically and empirically rich volume draws on new research from across Europe and Canada. Contributions stem from a broad spectrum of researchers and practitioners in the field, engaging in comparative international perspectives of problems of enduring relevance. This book particularly focuses on anti-oppressive practice, foster care, mainstreaming in education, ethnic origin, competency level and research as a tool in residential care. The book will make a significant impact to the literature on social work and child and family welfare.
