Critical Issues in Child Welfare
J. Shireman

Responding to what many consider a crisis in the child welfare system, the author addresses a central question: what role can and should social work play in child welfare services? This text is a comprehensive overview of the policies, programmes and practices that define the field. It begins with a look at the community context of child welfare, noting changes over time and the role of social work in the development of services to children and families. Next the author establishes a framework for child welfare services and examines the complexities of the system. Finally, the book surveys core services, including supportive services to families, child protection, foster care and other out-of-home care, adoption and services to at-risk youth.
