This book focuses on the fundamental changes to children's services associated primarily with the drive towards increasingly integrated ways of working. It examines the potential for closer 'working together', its effectiveness and its impact on children, parents and children's services as a whole.
With the drive towards increasingly integrated ways of working, "Changing Children's Services" focuses on the fundamental changes occurring in children's services. It critically examines the potential for closer 'working together', its effectiveness and its impact on children, parents and children's services as a whole. Crucial for those working in the field, it also explores the role of learning in this changing environment. This book will contribute to debates around the common core of knowledge and skills that are seen as essential for work with families in childcare, health, social care and educational children's services.

"Multi-agency working is one of the biggest challenges facing Children's Services today. These books not only explain the issues effectively, drawing upon a variety of theoretical, professional and research perspectives, but also give clear pointers as to how practice in working together can be improved."Professor Denny Hevey, The University of Northampton  Be the first to write a customer review
