This thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Child and
Family Assessment in Social Work Practice is an essential guide for
social work students and practitioners involved in the assessment
of children and their families. Focusing on 'core' assessments and
guiding the reader through the complexities of conducting
assessments of need and risk, the book now includes within each
chapter a range of specifically-tailored exercises and focus points
which encourage readers both to reflect on what they have learnt
and to understand how they can apply that learning to practice.
Placing a strong emphasis on good, evidence-based, assessment
practice, Sally Holland has also, for this new edition, included
original research evidence from a wide range of up-to-date research
studies which are relevant to today's practice and which aim to
promote a critical and reflective approach to the assessment
process.
The book is divided into three parts:
-Part 1 explores different appoaches to assessment work,
outlining policy changes and their implications for working with
children and their families.
-Part 2 studies those involved in child and family assessments:
children and their parents; and the relationship between the
assessors and the assessed.
-Part 3 - a more practical guide - outlines the actual process
of an assessment, illustrated by case studies, focusing on planning
assessment methods, analysis, reporting and critical
evaluation.
Accessibly relating theory and research to actual practice
through the use of case studies, exercises, and suggestions for
good practice and further reading, this book has a student-friendly
structure It will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and
academics across the field of social welfare, particularly for
those embarking on, or already involved in, child and family
assessment.
