All too often, human systems are criticised for failing those they are there to serve. In children’s social care, there has been a growing awareness of the overlooked needs of adolescents facing harm in their communities. This has intensified the call for system reform that leads to practice that is ethical, effective and grounded in supportive relationships. But how can this be achieved?
Drawing on experience of Contextual Safeguarding system change, this book shares ‘real-life’ lessons from research. It covers:
• Practical guidance and tools for changing systems using embedded methods;
• Navigating complex relationships and emotions in organisational change; and
• Using theory and concepts to support change.
The book’s lively and creative style makes it accessible for researchers, students, professionals and anyone committed to system change in adolescent safeguarding.
