Review
[the authors] have fashioned a book that is informed and informative, theoretically wise and practically useful…Readers will value Child Development for Child Care and Protection Workers for the wisdom that it brings and the guidance that it offers. And armed with the knowledge so neatly wrapped up in the pages of this very sensible book, the reflective practitioner will be well-placed to make young lives that much better. --from the Foreword by Professor David Howe, Professor of Social Work, University of East Anglia, UK
The second edition of this highly regarded book is most welcome. The chapters, written by experts in the field, will assist those working with children and young people to understand key developmental processes. The practical approach used throughout this book will also ensure practitioners are well equipped to undertake child-centred assessments and identify appropriate interventions. --Professor Jan Horwath, Professor of Child Welfare, University of Sheffield, UK

Product Description
Child Development for Child Care and Protection Workers is a classic text for students and practitioners in the child care and protection field which summarises important current thinking on child development and applies it directly to practice. The book covers key issues such as resilience and vulnerability and the impact of protective or adverse environments. Different stages of development (infancy, school age and adolescence) are discussed, and attachment theory is used to offer insights into the impact of abuse and neglect on development. A key feature is the inclusion of case studies and activities to allow the reader to improve their understanding and reflect on good practice. This second edition is fully updated to reflect the new policy context and multi-disciplinary practice, and contains updated practice examples to take into account contemporary issues affecting children and young people. This book encourages practitioners to consider each child as an individual with unique circumstances, and links theory and practice in an imaginative and sympathetic way. It will be essential reading for all child care and protection workers.

I very nearly returned this book until I really had a good examination of it however it is certainly a good introduction into how children form attachments to their care givers and the tremendous importance of the parental bond.Those buying the book intending it to give a comprehensive overview of child development in all its parameters will find it lacking.This is primarily a text for those working in a social work context.I think paediatric nurses ,public health nurses and health visitors will find it doesn't meet all their needs if they are intending to buy just one book in relation to child protection and child development. A resonably decent book but as a nurse and a child protection worker the title led me to expect more.

The book is fine and suits the purpose for which it is intended. However, when it arrived it was not completely inside the postage packet. I asked my postman about it and he said that it had arrived in the sorting office in that state. The book was actually stuck to the adhesive on the envelope and had to be cleaned before I could open it or put it onto my bookshelf.
This is the first time I have had a problem like this, but it might be a good idea, if perhaps you have had some new staff, to ask them to make sure that all books are well inside the envelope before they are dispatched.
