Review

"Rogowski ... has come up trumps with this latest work which focuses on children and family work in the UK ... the book is a useful complement to the contemporary UK radical literature in its attempt to bridge the divide between the academic standpoint of those works and the actualities of practice." British Journal of Social Work"... a much needed contribution to social work knowledge." Journal of Social Policy"In a rapidly changing world, it is excellent to see an updated "Critical Social Work with Children and Families" which offers a comprehensive critical perspective and rich resources for students and practitioners of child and family social work." Liz Beddoe, University of Auckland"Contemporary developments in social work mean that a critical perspective is more important than ever, and this new edition places this perspective front and centre." Joe Hanley, The Open University"Another informed, experienced and punchy performance, this book is typical Rogowski. Highly recommended." Paul Michael Garrett, University of Galway"Steve Rogowski has written an interesting history of radical and critical social work. Its focus on children and families draws mainly on developments in the UK, but it has resonance for those working in the difficult area of child-protection elsewhere. His calls for understanding the failure of neoliberalism to enhance well-being are crucial to the development of alternative forms of practice." Professor Lena Dominelli, University of Durham"An insightful overview of some of the key issues child and family social workers and managers face in current practice." Clive Diaz, Cardiff University"Steve Rogowski writes with characteristic commitment, clarity and vision. Here we have sharp analysis along with an invaluable guide to practice consistent with the emancipatory principles of modern radical social work." Mary Langan, Faculty of Social Sciences, The Open University"An inspiring and essential read for all social workers who really seek to make a difference in the lives of those we aim to support and empower." Tracee Green, Centre for Child Protection
