Book excerpt: This collection of papers assesses the principles and practices of family group conferences in the juvenile justice and child protection systems. Contributors describe the how the values which distinguish family group conferences -- respecting the integrity of the family unit; including the extended family; strengthening family and community supports; sharing power between the state and families; creating opportunities for parents to feel responsible for their children and themselves; and showing sensitivity and respect for families cultures -- are applied in various jurisdictions and settings.

Book Synopsis Protecting Children by : Featherstone, Brid
Download or read book Protecting Children written by Featherstone, Brid. This book was released on 2018-09-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state is increasingly experienced as both intrusive and neglectful, particularly by those living in poverty, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. Against this tense background, this innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children’s well-being and safety. Building on the ideas in the best-selling Re-imagining child protection and drawing together a wide range of social theorists and disciplines, the book: • Challenges existing notions of child protection, revealing their limits; • Ensures that the harms children and families experience are explored in a way that acknowledges the social and economic contexts in which they live; • Explains how the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilised and practices of co-production adopted; • Places ethics and human rights at the centre of everyday conversations and practices.

Book Synopsis Family Group Conferencing by : Gale Burford
Download or read book Family Group Conferencing written by Gale Burford. This book was released on 2017-09-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Group Conferencing indicates a large-scale shift in assumptions about the way child welfare services are planned and delivered - away from models that emphasize pathology, and toward those seeking an ecological understanding of the families and social networks involved. The contributors also present a wealth of information on related approaches, such as community conferences, circles, and wraparound services. The British Journal of Social Work noted that 'there are issues relating to both process and outcome. This book offers some answers that are intelligent and passionate.'
