Description
Effective Working with Neglected Children and Their Families: A Study of Long-term Outcomes This book provides a critical account of policy, systems and practice in safeguarding children. It is based on a substantial research study into social care provision for children who have been neglected, examining the responsiveness of parents and children to support and their progress over five years. The study reveals what works and what doesn't in terms of long-term outcomes for these children, highlighting gaps in provision after initial referral, risks associated with professional interventions, and the effectiveness of the child protection system. The book offers insights into how local authorities and other professionals can better meet the complex needs of neglected children, including factors related to good outcomes and ways to improve safeguarding strategies. Essential reading for policymakers, social workers, healthcare professionals, and others involved in safeguarding children, this book provides the latest evidence on effective practice and policy.
