This book particularly focuses on anti-oppressive practice, foster care, mainstreaming in education, ethnic origin, competency level and research as a tool in residential care.

Recensioner i media

’This book is a must for all those who, in practice as well as in research, wish to follow recent developments in child care. A number of new initiatives in foster and residential care are discussed by the elite of European authorities. The attention that is paid to research as a useful tool in child care makes this book especially important.’ Professor Dr W. Hellinckx, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium ’...an essential publication...reflects important practical experiences as well as empirically based evidence as prerequisites for political and practical work within the field. From a research point of view the book can serve as a guide in the perspective of working designs and meaningful interpretation within this important, but difficult and complex field that child-welfare and child-protection is.’ Professor Erik Larsen, Sør-Tøndelag University College, Norway ’...there is much in this book that will be of interest to social workers everywhere. It asks important questions about the role of residential care in social welfare today and provides useful comparative information.’ Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
