Produktbeskrivning
John Clarke, Professor of Social Policy, The Open University
"Paul Michael Garrett writes with verve, commitment and clarity. His new book on transforming Children's Services will make a significant and lasting impression on the social work literature."
Stephen Webb, Director of Institute of the Advanced Study for Humanity (IASH) University of Newcastle, Australia
"This is an excellent book and one of the best I have read for some time. It is a must have for all social work and social policy students and practitioners. Policy makers and managers should also read and digest this, even though they will probably find large parts an uncomfortable read."
Steve Rogowski, Professional Social Work (Dec, 2009)
"Paul Michael Garrett’s designedly critical analysis is timely, offering a fast-paced, hard-hitting, thought-provoking critique ... this book is sure to satisfy those looking for less of 'surface' and more 'depth' explorations ... I am sure that 'Transforming' Children's Services? will become essential reading for social work and social policy students throughout the UK and, indeed, internationally given that Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand share in cognate systems of child welfare and protection."
Karen Broadhurst, Critical Social Policy (forthcoming, 2010)
This book provides an accessible overview of the 'transformation' of Children's Services in England. In doing this, it draws on social theory, critical social policy and takes account of developments in other countries.
Paul Michael Garrett argues that the many changes which have taken place within, and beyond, Children's Services are related to the politics of Neoliberalism which, it is maintained, lie at the core of the Change for Children programme.
Readers will find detailed discussion on:
- The Laming Report which examined the death of Victoria Climbié
- The case of 'Baby P'
- Social work's 'electronic turn' and the use of ICTs in Children's Services
- Controversial plans to introduce Contactpoint (a database on all children)
- More pervasive patterns of surveillance
- How 'ASBO politics' has influenced the 'transformation' agenda
- So-called 'Problem Families' and the measures put in place to respond to such families
- Controversial plans to set up 'Social Work Practices' for children in public care
The book will also find an audience amongst academics, policy makers and all those who are interested in critical reflection and in applying theoretical insights to practice issues. After each chapter a 'Reflection and Talk' box is included to prompt further discussion on the key themes examined.
