Taylor & Francis Working Ethically in Child Protection
Book SynopsisIn their day-to-day practice, social work and human services practitioners frequently find themselves in confusing ethical quandaries, trying to balance the numerous competing interests of protecting children from harm and promoting family and community capacity. This book explores the ethical issues surrounding child protection interventions and offers a process-oriented approach to ethical practice and decision making in child protection and family welfare practice. Its aim is to prepare students and early-career professionals for roles in the complex and challenging work of child protection and family support. Beginning with a critical analysis and appreciation of the diverse organisational and cultural contexts of contemporary child protection and ethical decision-making frameworks, the authors outline a practical âreal-worldâ model for reshaping frontline ethical practice. Moving away from a focus on the child apart from the family, the authors recognise that child safegTrade Review'Working Ethically in Child Protection provides a deep analysis of ethics and the complex, critical dilemmas and decision-making processes in child protection.
