Addressing the alienation of practitioners from positivist and
quantitative research, this book shows how research can be
compatible with how practitioners collect and understand data.
Drawing on research approaches that take account of subjectivity
and employ participative methods, the authors develop an approach
to practice for the research- minded practitioner. Whilst useful
for practitioners wanting to do research, the primary intention of
this book is to explore ways in which practitioners may be
research-minded in their work.
Examining the assessment of need in children's services this book
addresses the full spectrum of practice, policy and research
developments in the field. The contributors include leading
academics, policy makers and senior practitioners who generate a
broad-based holistic approach to the assessment of children in
need. They show how needs assessment in children's services can be
used to tackle problems such as low achievement, mental ill-health
and social exclusion at both individual and strategic levels.
Approaches to the Assessment of Need in Children's Services will
enable service managers and practitioners to respond effectively to
the increasing pressure to monitor outcomes and effectiveness in
child care work, and to improve and coordinate children's welfare
service provision at individual and community levels and provides
an indispensable overview and analysis for anyone working or
studying in child welfare and social care.
