We were delighted on culture night to host the launch of 📚 Systems Complexity in Child Protection and Welfare Policy, Leadership, Practice and Evaluation at the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, University of Galway.
Co-authored by Dr Aisling Gillen, Professor John Canavan, Dr Carmel Devaney, and Professor Caroline McGregor and published by Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive exploration of how Complexity Theory can advance child protection and welfare systems worldwide.
We were honoured to be joined by University President Professor David Burn on this special occasion.
👏 Warm congratulations to our co-authors on this significant achievement.
