Synopsis
Who lives in children's homes and why? Who works there? How are the homes run? How effective are they? In this book, based on a three-year national research study, David Berridge and Isabelle Brodie examine the changes in structure and use of residential child care services over the last ten years. Beginning with a critique of the series of crises to have hit children's homes over the past decade (such as Pindown), the authors analyse the changing patterns of service use, developments in policy and the law, and general social factors affecting families. They consider findings from key research studies, interviews with managers in local authorities, staff and residents of homes, staying in each home for almost a week. The detailed account this provides forms the basis of their comprehensive analysis of the quality of care available and their recommendations for policy, practice, and the future management of children's homes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Based on a three-year national research study, this volume explores the current state of residential child care at grass roots level and compares the present situation to that of ten years ago in 1987. Returning to three local authorities visited by David Berridge and described by him in "Children's Homes" (1985), the authors outline: what the homes are like now; how they are run; and who lives in them and why. Using material gathered from week-long visits to individual homes, the authors then draw upon their own conclusions about the state of residential child care provision in the light of the 1989 Children's Act and recent economic and social developments to make recommendations for policy, practice and the future management for children's homes. In this book, based on a three-year national research study, the authors examine the changes in structure and use of residential child care services over the last ten years. They make a comprehensive analysis of the quality of care available and recommendations for policy, practice, and the future management of children's homes.
