Understanding System Change in Child Protection and Welfare
2022,2021
Overview
This book provides an account of the experience of a multifaceted system change programme to strengthen the capacity of Ireland's statutory child protection and welfare agency in the areas of prevention, early intervention and family support.
Many jurisdictions globally are involved in system change processes focused on increasing investment in services that seek to prevent children's entry into child protection and welfare systems, through early intervention, greater support to families and an increased emphasis on rights and participation. Based on a four-year in-depth study by a team of university-based researchers, this text adds to the emerging knowledge base on developing, implementing and evaluating system change in child protection and welfare. Study methodological approaches were wide-ranging and involved a number of key stakeholders, including children, parents, social workers and social care workers, service managers, agency leaders and policymakers. Since the change process involved an agency-university partnership encompassing design, technical support and evaluation, the book also contributes to understanding of the potential and limits of such partnerships in the child protection and welfare field. Uniquely, the book gives voice to the experience of both agency personnel and academic researchers in the accounts provided.
It will be of interest to all scholars, students and practitioners in the areas of child protection and welfare.
