The book encourages readers to reflect on their own background and how this influences their view of specific children, families and fellow professionals, as well as their own practice. Suitable for all those working with children and young people from birth to 19 years in any aspect of children's services, this book will ensure professionals work together successfully to the benefit of all.
This is an excellent text which will be used extensively to inform sessions.
I looked at this book with a first year student who has considerable experience; she felt, and I agree, that this lays out the basic structures of multi agency working in a way that will be very useful for less experienced students.
Focused, relevant and relates directly to one of the module titles we deliver. We have already ordered copies of these for our library.
Chapter 2 particularly pertinent, very interesting and supported well by activities to consolidate learning. Chapter 5,6,7 very disjointed and broken up by bullet points and scenarios.
An excellent book that clearly explains the services involved in the Early Years. The book presents many activities that can be used during seminars.

A great text for all those working with children and young people. A highly recommended text for students and staff in the sector.
A good grounding in the various services that children encounter and that students may work in or with.
Interesting updated discussion on issues of integrated services in England. The text provides examples from practice. It helps students to develop a more reflective insight into the issues of working with other professionals
This is an excellent book for students, clearly written and informative.
