An Essential Guide To Surviving And Thriving In Residential Childcare – Jane Dalgleish

Lessons from the frontline on how you’ll laugh, love and cry … all before lunchtime

Residential childcare is not just a job – something you clock in and out of and leave behind at the door. It’s a vocation – a deeply human, emotional and demanding role that asks those who choose it to show up, every single day, and give of themselves for the sake of vulnerable young people who may never have known stability, trust or unconditional care. Making that commitment is hard for anyone, but it is harder still without a guide. An Essential Guide for Every Residential Childcare Worker aims to be that guide. Written by an expert with more than twenty-five years’ experience in a range of frontline roles, it is a practical, jargon-free handbook that interweaves policy and core concepts with practical examples of daily practice. Paying tribute to the resilience and dedication of residential childcare workers, and emphasizing their profound role in shaping young lives, it explores the skills, principles and practices that create safe, nurturing environments for children who have experienced trauma.
