Book Overview: 'This is research made accessible and relevant for social work practice. The authors' style is fluent and direct as befits a book which is concerned with intelligent, informed and sensitive intervention. I liked Social Work with Children; it is readable, compassionate and full of helpful insights. As a book for students, it usefully summarizes legal and policy frameworks, particularly with reference to the Children Act, and points to their relevance for practice. It thus provides a coherent account of good child care in one easy-to-read volume.' - Child and Family Social Work
