About this title

Synopsis

This innovative study combines Danish and English perspectives on major aspects of the child welfare system in Denmark. It is innovative on two counts: First, it subjects the same raw research data to separate interpretations by each of the co-authors, one Danish, one English - and then compares the two interpretations. Secondly, it makes explicit links between Danish child welfare practice, the wider social policy context and the even more broad structures and culture of Danish Society. It critically contrasts the welfare context in Denmark with England, Its Nordic neighbours and to some extent the European Union as a whole. It is of great value to academics, students and practitioners in the fields of child care, social policy, social work, social care and comparative studies

Review

The beauty of this book for British practioners is that it enables us to wee ourselves as a foreign country by widening the perspectives on our own practices and legislation. Pringle and Harder, who are English and Danish respectively, have written this book following on from their Comparative Study and Child Welfare: 1 [Protecting Children in Europe: Towards a new millennium], which studied the child protection policies of five European countries...For all kinds of practitioners, policy makers and welfare workers this book is a rich contribution to thinking, and a challenge to assumptions we might have about how we do things here. G. Smith, family therapist, Greenwich NHS Trust. -- Community Care, July 22-28, 1999
