Description

This book provides rich insights into the pre and post care experiences of boys who were pupils in a residential school during the 1980s. It describes the boys' life trajectories alongside the rhythms, rituals, routines and relationships that existed within the school. The author draws on extensive interview material from former pupils as well as staff members, including religious Brothers who worked in the residential school, to build a comprehensive picture of their experiences. Together, these different perspectives offer unique insights into an important area of social work history, exploring how residential school experiences shaped the lives of the boys during and after their time there. This Routledge Advances in Social Work publication combines personal narratives with professional analysis to examine the complex dynamics of institutional care and its lasting impact on young people.
