Could these shortcomings be improved through organizational or system reform?Based on findings from a decade's worth of research, Creating Positive Systems of Child and Family Welfare provides original reflections on the everyday realities of families and front-line service providers involved with the system. It includes data from a variety of regions and situations, all linked together through a common investigatory framework. The contributors highlight areas of concern in current approaches to child and family welfare, but also propose new solutions that would make the system more welcoming and helpful both for families and for service providers UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781442666269 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781442666269/original ER -
