Shaping Childcare Practice in Scotland
Key papers on adoption and fostering
Edited by Malcolm Hill
Adoption and fostering policy and practice in Scotland have altered dramatically over the last 20 years. The types of children needing adoptive families are quite different and consequently, the experiences of adoptive families also differ significantly from those of even just a generation ago.
What are the important changes and key trends? And what are the major issues and controversies that have preoccupied child care professionals and practitioners?
This anthology brings together seminal papers published in BAAF's quarterly journal, Adoption & Fostering, which have contributed to shaping childcare practice in Scotland since 1980. They cover:
Essential reading for managers, practitioners, researchers, students, academics and all those interested in the issues which have influenced the development of adoption and foster care policy and practice.
Professor Malcolm Hill provides a substantial introduction to the book, together with introductions to each section. He is Commissioning Editor of Adoption & Fostering, Director of the Centre for the Child and Society at the University of Glasgow and a leading figure in the field.
Other contributors include Clare Devine, Christina Del Priore, Pauline Hoggan, Helen Minnis, Rena Phillips and Professor John Triseliotis.
The book is priced at £14.95 + £2.50 p&p. For ordering details contact BAAF.
