The Cape And The Kaffirs A Diary Of Five Years' Residence In Kaffirland
The Cape and The Kaffirs: A Diary of Five Years' Residence in Kaffirland is a priceless book written by one of the renowned authors "Harriet Ward". With the help of a perfectly curated book, the author elaborates on the personal experiences she faced during the whole journey of five years spent in Kaffirland (a historical signature term used to denote and address the region of southern Africa). The story of the book is written in a diary style that explains and explores the precious narratives of Ward's observation interaction and reflection of orthodox culture, daily life and customs of the people living in the region. It perfectly spots the light on the serious challenges and complexities of the living standards in the region of Kaffirland during the early 19th century. Along with this, the book also offers a pure glance at the social, economic and political arrangement and dynamics of that particular period. Ward's style of writing has made a valuable commitment to providing powerful insights into the historical context of the region. Readers will get a superb explanation and perspective of colonial life in South Africa in the very first read.

This Open Access book presents unique evidence from the first comprehensive study of the outcomes of open adoption from care in Australia. It contributes to the international debate concerning the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face post adoption contact with birth families.The chapters assess whether adoption provides a better chance of permanence and more positive outcomes than long-term foster care for abused and neglected children in care who cannot safely return to their birth families. They also explore whether open adoption can avoid some of the detrimental consequences of past policies in which adoption was shrouded in secrecy and children frequently grew up with a conflicted sense of identity. The book will appeal to policy makers, practitioners and students of social policy, social work, the law, psychology and psychiatry. It should also be of interest to adult adoptees and adoptive parents, whose experiences it reflects.

These include how the decision whether to remove children from their families are made, whether social work interventions work and the impact they have on children's life pathways. It also examines the role various participants, including parents, have in decision-making. The findings of the study show a close link between decisions, maltreatment and children's developmental problems, and provide key implications and recommendations for policy and practice.This significant book will be essential reading for all those involved in safeguarding children, including practitioners and policymakers, academics and researchers.

Costs and Consequences of Placing Children in Care

It costs more to place a child in the care of a local authority than it does to send a child to a top boarding school, and there are substantial variations in costs both between and within authorities.This book gets to the bottom of the costs of care and provides an insight into how these variations in cost relate to differences in children's needs, and most importantly, whether higher costs reflect better services and better outcomes for children.Costs and Consequences for Children Placed Away from Home draws from new original research, and considers the implications for best practice and future policy. It also features information about a newly pioneered resource: a fully workable decision analysis model designed for use in local authorities which uses historical data for each child to calculate the probable cost consequences of difference placement choices.This book sheds light on how to calculate the financial and social costs of care, and will be invaluable to both social work managers and policy makers working in children's services.

Babies and very young children in care often experience several changes of placement and carer, which can have a negative impact upon their long-term ability to develop secure attachments.Babies and Young Children in Care examines why babies enter care or accommodation and why securing their long-term future can be a lengthy process. It analyses the circumstances, characteristics and experiences of these young children before, during and after being looked after, including reasons for changes of carer and placement disruptions. It looks at how young children are affected by the lack of stability in their lives, and explores the consequences of reunification with their parents after long periods in care. Drawing on interviews with birth parents, carers and social care professionals, the authors trace the complex decision-making process that influences these children's early experiences and the impact this has on their later development and well-being. They offer a clear explanation of the outcomes of services for very young children and signpost messages for practice.This book is a key text for researchers, practitioners, policy makers and social care managers.
