Product Description
This much-needed book examines the implications of the Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda for working with children. It analyses the key issues from the perspective of the different professions that make up the 'new children's workforce' and explores interprofessional considerations. It describes and analyses the Every Child Matters programme in relation to the wider social context for children, with a consideration of inter-professional issues. The chapters give an overview of the recent history, current position, and main trends of the specific professions.It includes practice issues and case examples from health, education, social work, playwork, children's centres and early years. It is updated to take into account recent changes, including the creation of the new Department of Children, Schools and Families. It considers the opportunities and challenges presented by the current agenda, including the possible implications for future multi-disciplinary working. Offering a clear guide to the implications of Every Child Matters on practice, this book will be widely welcomed by tutors and practitioners alike, enabling readers to make sense of the legislation and national guidance, and to better understand the new agendas for children's services.

Format:Paperback
This book has been invaluable for my foundation degree in learning support. There are so many new pieces of legislation and government policies to wade through this book just put it all into place and, yes, it made sense. Individual chapters on Early years, Children's Centres, Nursing, maternity care, playwork, social work and mental health makes it a real winner across lots of different specialisms. I particularly liked the fact it doesn't look at new legislation through rose tinted specs - it's down to earth, forthright and recognises there are many issues to inter-professional collaboration.

Easy to read and understand as each chapter relates to different healthcare professional: from a teacher to a midwife.
