| Summary |
"Child Welfare in the Legal Setting is a study of the child welfare system that examines the legal system surrounding child welfare workers and highlights their need for agency-specific training. This insightful book challenges the traditional rules of child welfare and paves the way for alternate methods of conceptualizing and organizing child protection. It explores why many family interventions fail and others never even occur. Addressing issues and challenges from the initial identification of problems to navigating the legal system, this book is ideal for students yet through enough for public child welfare workers who want to take their skills to the next level."--Jacket. |
