A comprehensive text exploring in depth the area of 'Integrated Children's Services'. Cearly delivered with ideas for activities and chapter overviews.
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 essential text which gives good case studies to consider and discuss.
This is a readable text which enables graduate social work students to explore interprofessional working as part of their PQ award.
A helpful introduction to the topic which will provide an overview of this important area to our students working in a range of contexts with children and young people
I feel this book is a little deep for my learners however will be recommended to those wishing to go on to higher levels of study. It is a useful tutor reference book
