| Summary |
Annotation "Fathers can be marginalised or ignored in child protection practice. Engaging with Fathers examines the reasons for such prejudice and offers suggestions to social workers and health visitors on how to include fathers and stepfathers in considerations for practice and policy. The authors explore the relevant theory base (anti-discriminatory practice, attachment theory, feminism) and demonstrate its implications for the real-life situations that practitioners face. They suggest ways of assessing the potential assets and/or risks that fathers offer and draw up a model for intervention where relevant."--BOOK JACKET.
