Child welfare: Historical dimensions, contemporary debate
Autor Harry Hendricken Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2003
Children and child welfare sit at the heart of New Labour's plans for social inclusion - but how does the government view 'children' - is it reflecting public opinion, or leading it? How does New Labour perceive 'child welfare'? What are the motivations behind, and objectives of, current social policy for children? Are the 'Rights of the Child' being subsumed under 'duties and responsibilities'? This revisionist account provides critical answers to these questions within a historical framework and from a child-centred perspective.The book not only offers a provocative account of contemporary policies and the ideological thrust behind them, but also provides an informed historical perspective on the evolution of child welfare during the last century.

Recenzii
... a useful and informative text for policy makers, academics, social workers and those concerned with children's rights. ChildRight
Hendrick has provided us with a book to be appreciated and savoured, one offering students and the general reader a shrewd and intelligent overview of child welfare policy. Here is a standard text, one unlikely to be bettered for a long time. Youth & Policy
... an invaluable addition to the contemporary child welfare literature. Social Development Issues
The book amply demonstrates why Hendrick's child care history is so popular among academics and also how much 21st century social workers can learn from the past. www.communitycare.co.uk
