Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Working with Children and the Children Act is, above all, a practice guide. The new legislation of the Children Act 1989 has had considerable implications for all those who work in the social, health or educational services. The emphasis on the child's welfare, on children in need and the responsibilities of parents, together with the strong commitment to client participation, directly affects the role of such workers.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 200-205) and index.
Part I: Assessment -- Assessment of children in need -- Assessment of parenting -- Taking the family into account -- Normal development -- Children with disabilities -- Mental health and psychological problems -- Analysing causes -- Part II: Planning and implementation -- Helping strategies -- Family therapy strategies -- Intervention in child abuse.
