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.
