| Summary |
"Supervisors have a pivotal position in child welfare workforce: they recruit and retain the best employees, move agencies to best practice frameworks, and create a sustaining positive organization climate. Child welfare supervisors must lead a stressed workforce operating in a bureaucratic environment, and always with the knowledge that children's lives are at stake. They need and deserve a book oriented to the reality of their work. Child Welfare Supervisions connects theory and practice to provide an overview of the most relevant and sound approaches to supervision."--BOOK JACKET |
