Product Description
Review
In virtually every serious case of child abuse or neglect there is a lack of understanding from professionals about what the child's world is like. Assessment is crucial, but so often is found lacking. Horwath's book provides a thoughtful analysis of the assessment process, addressing the challenges and offering solutions. An invaluable resource for all disciplines and probably the most comprehensive guide to assessment on the market. --Julie Taylor, Professor of Family Health in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Dundee
Since the first edition of The Child's World was published in 2001, it has always been high on my list of essential child care texts for social work students and qualified practitioners alike. This expanded second edition, based on the most up to date research and policy developments, fuses the practical and the theoretical within the context of a robust multi-professional focus and includes several new chapters, adding breadth and depth to key areas of child welfare practice in an accessible and readable style. Whether reading it from cover to cover or using it as a reference text, this will be an invaluable resource for anyone working in the child welfare arena. Don't leave home without it. --Dr. Brynna Kroll, Senior Consultant, ARTEC Enterprises Ltd, and former Senior Lecturer in Social Work
The Child's World has long been an indispensable guide to assessing children in need and to facilitating the kind of joint-agency work that we need to achieve to reach positive outcomes for children. This fully revised second edition goes even further in that quest, making it ideal for use across the disciplines of education, health and social care. Jan Horwath has assembled an outstanding set of key readings on the most essential topics that those working with children in need should be informed about. A superb resource for trainees as well as for professional learning strategies in the workplace, The Child's World is bound to have a positive effect in moving this important field forwards. --Elizabeth Holmes, education trainer and consultant, and author of The Newly Qualified Teacher s Handbook

Product Description
This new and updated edition of the best-selling book on assessing children in need and their families integrates practice, policy and theory to produce a comprehensive and multidisciplinary guide to all aspects of assessment. The Child's World not only provides an explanation of the Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families, but also offers a wealth of information on how to use it sensitively and effectively. The Child's World explores the implications of recent legislation, including the Children Act 2004, and national guidance for assessment practice. The contributors have drawn on the latest research, best practice and lessons learnt over the past decade of Framework implementation to equip practitioners, from different disciplines, to identify the developmental needs of children, assess parental capacity and evaluate the impact of family, economic and environmental factors on the carer's ability to meet the needs of the child. This book is essential reading for all practitioners, managers, trainers and educators in children's and adult services who use the Framework, and will also be a valued source of knowledge and guidance for those assessing children s needs in legislative contexts outside of England.
