A Practitioners' Tool for Child Protection and the Assessment of Parents, Paperback / softback Book

A Practitioners' Tool for Child Protection and the Assessment of Parents Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A practical tool for the assessment of children and their families, this guide enables professionals to make informed decisions about child protection issues.

Firmly rooted in current practice, it draws on the expertise of a practising consultant and experienced qualified social worker Jeff Fowler, whose work has already formed the basis of guidance reports for child protection agencies and court proceedings. Providing detailed checklists for collecting and interpreting information vital to a best practice assessment, it also includes practical sections that focus on assessing attachment issues, childhood experiences, alcohol and drug abuse, and parenting skills and abilities.

It presents a central case study leading to an assessment report which can be used for case conferences, as a core assessment in care proceedings, or for statements in public and private law matters. This is a helpful tool for anyone undertaking assessments but also for others who may be involved in aspects of child protection work such as social workers, health professionals, teachers, and legal and criminal justice professionals.
