Publisher's Synopsis
This book is based upon the findings of the Partnership with 'Lost' Parents Project ? an action-research based study devised to find out whether working partnerships can be established and maintained between social workers and parents of children looked after long term by local authorities. It brings together a number of contributions of direct relevance to re-establishing working relationships with 'lost' parents, and draws directly on the experiences of children, parents and social workers involved in the project?s research. 'Lost and Found' will be invaluable reading for all practitioners and academics concerned with the specific duties owed to parents and to children in the care of local authorities.
