Synopsis

"Working Together for Children" provides a factual and analytical introduction to the systems and processes of multi-agency work with children and families. It is for trainee practitioners in childcare, education, social work and health care, and for those going on to work, or already working, in such settings who are looking to be more effective practitioners.Reflection on practice is a theme running throughout the book. To assist readers with this, there are two types of feature: information boxes, giving further factual details of particular areas related to multi-agency work; and reflective exercises containing case studies, vignettes or statements, followed by questions designed to stimulate reflection on issues raised in the text.Readers should find "Working Together for Children" incredibly useful for having both an introduction to policy/frameworks and a full and critical evaluation of these in one place.

Media Reviews
It is his insight, born of practical experience combined with academic rigour, which makes Gary Walker's book a truly informed work and an excellent contribution to the field. Armed with publications such as this, policy makers, as well as the growing body which makes up the multi-professional workforce, will be better informed and prepared to take up their roles, and to do so with reflection and insight.

Working Together for Children fills a timely gap in the market for informed and intelligent books about multi-agency work...This book is packed with information and practical advice, and will be a really useful asset for both individuals studying to understand multi-agency teamwork and for professionals/practitioners charged with making it work.
