The book introduces students to a range of theoretical perspectives, links the key themes to the existing and emerging policy and practice context and supports students in engaging with and evaluating the central debates.
With case studies, reflective questions and sources of further reading, this is an ideal text for students taking courses in childhood studies, working with children, young people and families, interprofessional children's services, early years, youth work and social work.
I am recommending this book for my PQ students, but I will also be recommending it to the undergraduates
This book title shares the same name as the title of the Foundation Degree we deliver so scores very highly with the students. There is a agood range of subjects covered by the authors. The subjects are relavnt to the course of study so make this a useful text book to have. An evaluation of the content judges it to be well laid out, easy to read and follow, set at an appropriate level to engage studentsin higher level study.
A well presented and informative texts, containing some insightful chapters.
As a Practice Educator I have used this book to refresh and reflect on my knowledge as well as suggesting students read specific chapters; when preparing lectures this book has also been an informative text.
This provides an excelent introductory overview on a range of key issues and theoretical perspectives impacting on social work practice with children young people and their families.
This book did not have the focus that I was looking for. Good book thoug, accessible and easy to read. It provides insigt in work with families and it offers overview for teachers in early education
Great text - essential for students
This is a good additional text for students to read to compliment their understanding of working with children and families.
Sorry - safeguarding (ch7) and school councils (ch6) were quite useful, but not enough depth otherwise to become recommended.
