Description
Working with children and families is one of the most challenging yet rewarding areas of social work practice. This fully revised edition aims to guide you through all aspects of this complex field, from understanding legislation and policy to developing essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, and decision-making.
The book covers a range of topics, including safeguarding, substitute care for children, family support, life story work, and direct work with children. It is designed to help social workers navigate the diverse group of professionals they will encounter, from police and schools to hospitals and community organisations.
