Description

With case studies, interactive activities, summaries and guidance throughout, this book looks at the changing context of children and young people’s services heralded by the structural, organizational and funding changes put forward in Eileen Munro’s Review of Child Protection. It is strongly grounded in research and theory, and gives specific consideration to how systems theory can help practitioners in understanding families. It highlights the need for every social work practitioner to develop the capacity to undertake unified assessments and interventions in a wide variety of settings with individuals, families, and groups where there are child protection and safeguarding concerns.
