Description
Working Together for Children provides a comprehensive account of the systems and processes of multi-agency work with children and their families. At its core, the book acknowledges that such work is inherently complex and can only be effectively contributed to by understanding and grappling with these complexities.
This second edition of the book includes updated references to legislation and guidance underpinning multi-agency working, as well as new chapters on specific groups of children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and youth justice. The book also offers practical tools to support reflection on practice, including information boxes, reflective exercises, and questions to stimulate reflection.
Designed for trainee practitioners in childcare, education, social work, youth work, and healthcare, or for those already working in these settings who wish to improve their practice, Working Together for Children is an essential resource for anyone involved in multi-agency working.
