Working with Ethnic Minorities and Across Cultures in Western Child Protection Systems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Multiculturalism in western countries continues to grow, but responsiveness to it with culturally sensitive research, policy and practice has been slower to develop. Unlike previous research, this book addresses discrete and relevant practice issues - how to work effectively with interpreters, whether or not to match caseworkers and clients based on ethnic background, and what to consider when making plans for children in the out-of-home-care system - with best practice guidelines.
