Böcker av June Thoburn

Brings together a selection of influential and informative English language refereed journal articles on children in out-of-home care, their birth relatives, and carers. This volume includes an introductory chapter reviewing the state of knowledge on children in care and drawing attention to other important sources not included as chapters.

This book reviews changes in policy and practice and will assist managers and practitioners in family and childcare social work to make decisions based on sound evidence about where to place children and what sort of practice is likely to bring about the desired outcomes for children, birth relatives, foster carers and the adoptive family.
