The result of a project introducing social work into a boarding school in Ghana, this book brings together a much-needed analysis of the challenges and benefits of providing social work services in Ghanaian boarding schools. It examines contemporary issues affecting children and young people in boarding schools and outlines principles and strategies for addressing these issues in a holistic manner. The book concludes with suggestions about how boarding school leaders, policy makers and educationalists might develop child protection processes in schools or strengthen existing protocols.
