This book is essential reading for anyone studying and working in the new integrated children's services. The Children's Workforce Development Strategy sets out the basic skills and knowledge needed by people whose work brings them into regular contact with children, young people and their families. Built around this Common Core of Skills and Knowledge and packed with case studies and reflective exercises, this book helps students and practitioners understand the theory behind these issues and develop strategies for embedding them within their own practice.

The book is really useful for students at all levels of the degree programme. It is accessible, well structured and students can find their way round the material and dip in and out of the reading very easily. Each chapter suggested a range of useful resources which is extrmely useful

A very useful text, although some chapters lack a challenge to the FdA students, a worthy purchase.
