Working Together for Young Children

"Working Together For Young Children" addresses the central issues facing young children and their families in the light of the new social and political climate which emphasizes the rights of children and the responsibilities that parents and the caring professions have towards them. The contributors--experienced in the fields of health, education, social and voluntary services--provide information, research evidence and ideas about practice in the light of recent British legislative reform. Emphasizing the need for continuity, comprehensiveness and collaboration at the different levels of care provision, different chapters explore the services directed at children "in need" as well as children in general. This book will appeal to parents and to trainees and practitioners in primary education, social work and the health professions.
