| Summary |
"Working with children and families is a challenging and rewarding area of social work practice. Social workers are often confronted with difficult situations in which their actions make a direct difference to the protection and well-being of a child. The second edition of this popular book has been updated to give students the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake work in this area. It explores the values and attitudes to the safety of children and also provides an overview of the involvement of other professional organisations such as the police, schools and hospitals in the protection and care of children." "The book has been designed as an interactive resource with activities and case studies throughout to help reinforce learning. Coverage is also given to key Government guidance and policy such as Every Child Matters, Working Together 2006, the Children Act 2004 and the Adoption and Children Act 2002."--BOOK JACKET |
