Woolley, Anya Seekings, Jeremy Development Studies Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This dissertation draws on qualitative research conducted in 2012 with foster mothers and young people living and having lived in three household-style ‘safety homes’ in the township of Khayelitsha, Cape Town. Unlike large formalised residential care facilities, with high staff turnover and high ratios of children to caregivers, these settings are intimate long-term spaces of care that provide stable parenting. This finding of stable parenting and of proper care of young people in the safety homes forms the crux of this thesis and challenges the dominant view that care other than within the biological family is inferior and ‘out of home’ and ‘out of family’ care. The research highlighted that the social (non-biological) family has both strengths and limitations. 2015-01-03T18:11:18Z 2015-01-03T18:11:18Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11168 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
