by Maureen Long (Author), Nadine Cameron (Author), Margarita Frederico (Editor)
This edited collection situates
the wellbeing and safety of vulnerable children as the focus of
leadership. It provides a guide to theories and practice of leadership
for those who want to make a difference to the lives of these children
and their families.
Drawing on the experience of a
highly successful postgraduate program in Child and Family Practice
Leadership, the book explores the changing context of Child and Family
Practice and the role of leadership, in addition to the knowledge and
skills required for effective practice. Contributors draw upon their own
practice experiences and insights into the most effective ways to
support the work of practitioners to achieve the best outcomes for
children and families. The content comprises a mixture of theoretical
consideration, discussion of original research and interviews with child
and family practitioners.
Bringing together
contributions from leading specialists and professionals in the field,
this book will be essential reading for individual practitioners,
organisations and policymakers looking to assist the development of
leadership within the child and family practice sector. It will also be
of interest to those working in child protection and related workforces.
