When working with children to promote their welfare and safeguard them from harm, the best course of action is not always clear. Based on two of the most important organizing frameworks human ecology and child development this book provides an invaluable guide for working with a wide range of children.

The ultimate introductory companion to your children and families module. Starting with an exploration of the knowledge base and contexts of social work practice with all children and their families, this friendly guide moves on to demonstrate how knowledge base is applied in practice with specific groups, from disabled children to young offenders

This is an outstandingly clear and comprehensive guide to social work with children for students and practitioners in the field.
