Critical Social Work with Children and Families: Theory, Context and Practice

di Steve Rogowski (Autore)

Bristol University Press, 2013

In dealing with individual problems and difficulties, critical social work (CSW) is an emancipatory practice which seeks to address social injustice. In this book the author draws on almost 40 years' experience as a social worker to consider CSW in core areas of practice with children and families. Fully updated to cover the impact of austerity, Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic and cost of living crisis, this accessible text book is essential reading for students, educators and practitioners of child and family social work. It features: * clearly signposted 'theory' and 'practice' sections; * over 10 case studies including those drawn from the author's experience; * end of chapter 'Key points' summaries; * further reading suggestions. With expanded coverage of race and intersectionality, contextual safeguarding and critical child protection, the book champions the development of resilient social workers working towards a more just and equal world.
