Child protection and family workers can complete training without
learning about how to work with domestic abuse perpetrators - but
intervening at an early stage can make a real difference to
increasing family safety. This concise book equips practitioners
with the knowledge and techniques they need to make the most of
limited client contact with perpetrators. It outlines how to
briefly assess perpetrators, how to prepare them for a perpetrator
programme, and describes a range of interventions that can be used
to reduce the risk they represent in the meantime. Drawing on
approaches from motivational work, anger management, CBT and
feminist models, but written in practical and easy to follow
language, the book provides guidance for carrying out interviews
and assessing risk, how to use safety plans, signals and time outs,
understanding the impact of abuse on victims, how to analyse
incidents of abuse and how to make an effective referral. This
reliable guide is a useful reference for any child protection
worker wanting to make the most of the valuable opportunity they
have to engage with domestic violence perpetrators.
Domestic violence has a serious impact on children and families but
some of the harm can be minimised by providing parents with
effective guidance on developing safe, protective and positive ways
of caring for their children in the aftermath of a violent
relationship. This practical guide provides techniques and
exercises to help practitioners work in a structured and focused
way with parents after domestic violence has occurred. It sets out
a framework for assessing risks and needs, and covers how to build
strengths, set goals, and plan an intervention pathway. Advice,
exercises and handouts that are easily photocopied will help
parents understand the impact of domestic violence and develop
their relationship with their child. The resource also covers how
to use discipline, talking to children, understanding child
development, and how to build resilience and empathy. Guidance on
working with both the perpetrator and the victim of domestic
violence is included. This invaluable resource will benefit child
and family social workers, children's centre workers, therapists,
counsellors and anyone supporting a family recovering from the
trauma of domestic violence.
This is a story I began telling when my children wanted something
new because we had gone through all of the children's books in our
home. Over several years it evolved to its current telling. We hope
you enjoy it as much as we do.
The badgers of Wytham Woods (Oxford, UK) have been studied
continuously and intensively by David Macdonald for almost 50 years
(25 of them with his former student and co-author Chris Newman),
generating a wealth of data pertaining to every facet of their
ecology and evolution. Through a mix of accessible, highly readable
prose and cutting-edge science, the authors weave a riveting
scientific story of the lives of these intriguing creatures,
highlighting the insights offered to science more broadly through
badgers as a model system. They provide a paradigm - from
population down to molecule - for a deeper understanding of
mammalian behaviour, ecology, epidemiology, evolutionary biology,
and conservation. The real value of this long-term study is
particularly apparent with current and globally relevant challenges
such as climate change, disease epidemics, and senescence. This
unique dataset enables us to examine these issues in a context that
only a half-century experiment can reveal. The Badgers of Wytham
Woods will appeal to a broad audience of professional academics
(especially carnivore and mammalian biologists), researchers and
students at all levels, governmental and non-governmental wildlife
bodies, and to the natural historian fascinated by wild animals and
the remarkable processes of nature they exemplify.
