Leadership in Child and Family Practice
«
'This is an excellent resource that pushes us to consider where current systems fail and how to cultivate leadership that will transform child and family services. It is an essential read for those committed to reshaping models of workforce development to improve child outcomes.' - Todd I. Herrenkohl, PhD, Marion Elizabeth Blue Professor of Child and Family, University of Michigan School of Social Work, USA
'This is an excellent book covering some difficult issues of central importance to both social work and related disciplines. It tackles the question of how high professional practice standards can be achieved and maintained, how practice knowledge, organisational knowledge and research knowledge can be brought to practitioners and used by them. It is one of the few books to focus on this complex matter. It places professional and organisational leadership at the centre of this dynamic and shows how education needs to be integrated into the goals and content of practice. Note: it is very clearly written and engages the reader quickly.' - Professor Emeritus Thea Brown, Department of Social Work, Monash University, Australia

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.

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.
