Drawing on a study combining a phenomenological research philosophy with frame analysis, the book explores how culturally informed parenting is construed by social workers and BAME parents. It argues that effective assessment of the parenting competence of BAME parents is predicated on understanding how culture and ethnicity frame perspectives of what constitutes competent parenting. Throughout the eight chapters, the book moves the debate within the literature away from the universality of parenting concepts to a focus on deeper understanding of culture and ethnicity. This highlights the influence that culture and ethnicity have on the way that BAME parents socialise their children and secondly, how parents and social workers conceptualise parenting competence. The result is useful insights into the cultural context of parenting. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work, childhood studies, sociology and social policy as well as social work professionals more broadly"-- Provided by publisher.
