Working with Children and Families provides essential knowledge for effective practice in working with children, young people, and their families. This comprehensive text explores the diverse contexts in which children develop, and the policies and practices that directly affect them. It offers a multidisciplinary approach, introducing key policies and agendas, contemporary issues such as anti-discriminatory and ethical practice, child protection, and safeguarding, as well as reflective activities to help you engage with and apply knowledge in practice. The text also examines diversity from various perspectives, including sociological, psychological, educational, and cultural viewpoints. This inclusive text is ideal for students at foundation and undergraduate degree level, offering a broad basis for launching into any area of work or study involving children, such as early years, social work, education, social policy, nursing, sociology, and childhood studies.
