Written as part of a training pack for practitioners working in
child care and child protection, and bringing together leading
figures from a range of disciplines, this important text shows how
the latest child development theories can be applied to
professionals' working practice. Considering theories of
development throughout the lifespan from the early years through to
adolescence, and transitions to adulthood, this resource is
essential reading for a range of professionals including social
workers, teachers, and health and mental health professionals. The
authors build up an integrated picture of the developing world of
the child, looking at genetic and biological influences alongside
individual psychological, interpersonal, familial, educational and
wider community domains. The final part of the book looks
specifically at issues for practice, including chapters on
communicating with children exercising professional judgment, and
planning, interventions and outcomes in child care.
Designed to meet a range of day care needs for individuals,
families or wider communities, Family Centres are central to the
government's provision of effective child care services. The study
of family centres - monitoring their objectives, examining key
challenges faced and evaluating approaches to practice - is
fundamental to the delivery of effective, evidence-based services.
This book details and evaluates expert research into the developing
role of family centres in the light of current political and social
trends including, the Every Child Matters legislation. It outlines
the different user groups serviced by family centres; the various
combinations of services provided and the contribution that these
are making to positive outcomes for children; major tasks facing
family centres such as optimising access to services; and important
partnerships between family centres and other services such as
education and health care. Based on the evidence, the authors
highlight key messages for future development. A vital addition to
the literature on child care services, Improving Children's
Services Networks is essential reading for social care
practitioners and students, government policy makers and planners.
The contributors to this book provide a comprehensive review of
child care policy and practice. They present evaluations and
critiques of new or impending legislation and policies, and
describe innovative services for children and young people who are
deemed to be in need of protection, care or control as a result of
abandonment, neglect, ill-treatment, offending or other
difficulties. They also examine changes in adoption law, where such
issues as placement policies in relation to children from ethnic
minorities, intercountry adoption and the trend towards greater
openness have become prominent and controversial in recent years.
