Preventive orientations in children’s centres: a study of centre managers. |
Summary: Looks at the preventive approach of children’s centres and their managers. A qualitative study (interviews) was undertaken with twenty children’s centre managers in a rural local authority in England. Results showed that managers drew quite explicitly on the general concept of prevention in the conduct of their work. However, there were differences in those who emphasised universalism in the provision of services and those who saw the need to focus on higher levels of need. |
