内容説明

This book's evidence and case studies, drawn from lives in disadvantaged communities, illustrate ways of delivering innovative good practice that will be helpful to anyone concerned about the welfare of children, young people and families in those communities. Drawing on the authors' wide experience, it focuses on the whole child, recognising the links between different parts of their lives: principally family, school and community. As valuable to readers who have some familiarity with the emerging concepts of 'ecological practice' as it will be to those who may be new to the term, it recognises the links between different parts of children's and young people's lives, and the importance of working creatively with these connections. Such practice developments are especially timely in the UK in the context of Every Child Matters, Integrated Children's Centres and Extended Schools. The authors explore this context to draw out lessons that can inform practice everywhere, and in evolving policy contexts, including: working jointly with families and communities to safeguard children and young people and promote their well-being; working with communities to increase support for parents and produce better outcomes form everyone; the implications of this approach for all agencies and practitioners that impact on children and young people, not just those with direct responsibility; differing contexts, ranging from a rural town to an inner-city refugee community; and, hearing the voices of the children, young people and parents living in these communities. Fully referenced, their book will appeal to busy practitioners, service managers, those involved in organisational and policy aspects, as well as to researchers, lecturers and students. It addresses children of different ages and genders; children living within white, Black and minority ethnic, dual heritage and refugee families; and, disabled children and young people.
