Caring for Abused and Neglected Children
The decision whether to reunify a child in care with their birth family is one of most serious considerations of child protection workers. This book examines the long term consequences of family reunification and the risk of returning the child without adequate support to the family.
Reuniting Looked After Children With Their Families
Family reunification offers a potential route to permanency for looked after children, which is a key issue in contemporary social care.

It assesses the key factors associated with the probability of reunification, the impact of child and parent characteristics, placement reasons, contact, motivation and the nature of social work services, the effectiveness of specialist reunification services in the USA and the outcomes of reunion, including studies which have reported on re-abuse, re-entry to care and psychosocial outcomes.

Educating Difficult Adolescents
Educational achievements for children in care are significantly poorer than for the general school population.

It evaluates the educational experience and performance of a sample of 'difficult' adolescents living in foster families, residential children's homes and residential special schools for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). The book addresses factors such as the failure to prioritise education for children in care, placement instability and disrupted schooling.
