Description

Bringing together a range of perspectives from practice, lived experience and academia, this timely collection provides an accessible yet critical guide to children's services and social work education reform over the past decade. Considering the impact of the MacAlister Review, the book explores both the positive and negative aspects of reform, before setting out alternative policy and practice directions.
