This key text covers the knowledge and skills that social workers need to get into practice with children and families.

The book covers core components of child and family work such as building effective relationships, assessment, child protection practice and working with the law. Clear and accessible, this practical book features case studies, questions and exercises throughout. This third edition covers the very latest developments in child and family work, including changes in professional practice that emphasise the importance of understanding child development and observation skills.

Social Work with Children and Families is an indispensable text for social workers, allied health professionals, psychologists and students of social work and child care.
