“…These models, which illustrate the centrality of an ecological perspective in Child and Youth Care, provide not only visual descriptions of the field but also shape curriculum within Child and Youth Care education and training. As early as 1979, the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria adopted an ecological perspective (R. Ferguson, personal communication, November 3, 2008), upon which the curriculum of the school is based (Kuehne & Leone, 1994;Ferguson et al, 1993a).…”

The purpose of this literature review is to explicate the meaning of ecological theory and trace its influence in Child and Youth Care. The review focuses on the work of Urie Bronfenbrenner and explores how his early ideas have resonated through descriptions of the field, in efforts to prepare practitioners for professional practice, and in actual practice itself. The review concludes by questioning how Bronfenbrenner’s work could continue to inform Child and Youth Care practice, particularly in the areas of policy and community work.

This article explores the current status of professional development within the child and youth care field. Pre-service, inservice and professional development activities and systems are critically examined in residential and nonresidential contexts, and barriers to more effective training within the field are identified. While there has been considerable effort both in terms of research and practice with respect to pre-service curriculum development, it is argued that in-service training for practitioners is sparse, often random and rarely coordinated to meet the knowledge and skill needs of practitioners relative to their specific employment context. Foundational elements for career building in child and youth care are also explored, and it is argued that notwithstanding virtually unlimited opportunities for career building and the expansion of the field, there are some areas of practice that are beyond the scope of the child and youth care profession. Particular emphasis is placed on some of the contradictions between child and youth care theory and practice fields such as child protection, therapy and diagnostic work.
