"Effective Staff Training in Social Care" provides a theoretical framework for training and professional development, focusing on group learning in a social care context. It tackles the tensions and dilemmas of those engaged in training amidst a climate of change and a mixed economy of welfare and examines how these influence both the trainer and the learner.
Making Connections with Vulnerable Children and Families is the practical go-to resource for practitioners looking to build effective relationships and engage meaningfully with vulnerable children and their families. Compiled by Jan Horwath, lead editor of the bestselling child protection handbook The Child's World, the text features a wealth of clear, user-friendly, creative materials. The tools draw on evidence-based research and have been developed and tested by frontline practitioners from a range of disciplines working in Rochdale. Each tool includes a practice example as well as detail about aims, method, things to think about and possible adaptations. The tools can be used in a variety of work settings and the downloadable, versatile resources are all designed to support a relational approach to practice. These tools will help you establish relationships with both children and their primary carers, understand their lived experience and the impact of this on the health and well-being of the child or adolescent. Additional tools are included for use with parents and primary carers to explore parenting capacity and the socio-economic factors that influence family life.

This definitive textbook provides accessible information on best practice for assessing the needs and strengths of vulnerable children and their families. It explores the challenges that practitioners face routinely - with suggestions as to how to address them - as well as the established areas for assessment, of children's developmental needs, parenting ability and motivation, and socio-economic factors. This new edition has been extended substantially to include recent practice, policy and theoretical developments, such as understanding the lived experience of children, young people, and family members. It also considers children's neurological development, assessing parental capacity to change, early help assessments, emerging areas of practice such as child sexual exploitation, and working with asylum-seeking and trafficked children. Crucially, this updated edition takes a broader approach in offering relevant information to a range of professionals working with vulnerable children. The importance of inter-professional working is emphasised throughout.
