Description

Presenting new research, this book provides refreshing guidance on how social workers can ensure that children and parents participate more effectively in decision making processes when childcare social workers are involved and improve outcomes for all. There is increasing pressure to involve children and young people in the decisions that affect them. Presenting new research on the extent to which parents and children participate in decision making when childcare social workers are involved, particularly in child protection conferences and Child in Care reviews, Diaz argues for a radical shift in existing practices. Including a range of perspectives from children and young people, parents, social workers, independent reviewing officers and senior managers, this book provides refreshing guidance on how social workers can work better with children and parents to ensure that they participate more effectively in decision making processes and improve outcomes for all.
