Doing Real-Life Change in Children’s Social Care: Embedded Research in Practice

All too often, human systems are criticised for failing those they are meant to serve. One example is the growing awareness of the overlooked needs of adolescents facing harm in their communities. This has highlighted a need for new systems that enable practice that is ethical, effective and grounded in supportive relationships. But how can this be achieved?

Appealing to those interested in Contextual Safeguarding and beyond, this book shares ‘real-life’ lessons from research, covering:

• 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 children’s social care.
