Social Work with Children

The recent review of the Diploma in Social Work highlighted the fact that children and young people who are in care have less successful records of educational achievement than their peers. Social Work with Children encourages students to view the educational experiences of the young people they will work with seriously and to provide them with the necessary information to do so with confidence and authority. It takes account of the problems associated with inter-agency and inter-professional work drawing upon the authors' own practical experience and research. Illustrative case studies are provided.
