| Annotation | Working in group care (i.e. residential and day services) is a challenging and complex task, demanding great skill, patience, knowledge and understanding. This book explains how best practice can be achieved through the focused and engaged work of individuals and teams who are well supported and managed. Detailed attention is paid to the value of everyday practice and its underlying principles. The book brings together theory, practice and research findings from across the whole field of group care. This second edition is updated and expanded, including material on the concept of 'opportunity led work', a framework to enable workers to think through the stages of handling and responding to unplanned moments and events that can occur in a day's work. It was first published by Venture Press and the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) in 1996. (RH). |
