'[This] is an invaluable resource for any person working towards improving the Every Child Matters agenda; whether in education, health, social care or the voluntary sector' - Support for Learning
Excellent book with up to date theories and models which mapped across to our Assessed Learning outcomes
A very easy to follow book with great amount of information relevant to teaching safeguarding and children in care.
A useful source for those studying modules which explore the issues of integrated and multi agency working.
A interesting book which explores the concept of multi agency working under 'old' the Every Child Matters agenda. However caution is advised when acknowledging the ECM outcomes as the terminology for this agenda was changed when the old coalition government came into power in 2010.
Very easy to read and the students think it is clear and informative.
A good companion book for the strategy module.
Still useful book with practical helps for teaching about collaborative working.
Although a little dated now much of the content is still very relevant and the rationale for integrated working is still current. Clearly set out to support student researching and effectively supported by downloadable materials. A lot of supportive material for students to use in practice and through experience this will support understanding. I would have liked to see more signposting to more academic sources but a useful starting point.
This is a useful book for lecture notes and preparation. However a large part of the book is linked to Every Child Matters which is the support for learning initiative used in England. In Scotland it is a different initiative and would be confusing for students.
This book is effective for understanding team working and role of multiagency working in early years. The exercises discussed are very good and helpful for understanding the concept of multiagency working.
An excellent book which is definitely an essential read for all those who are covering multi agency partnerships.
good clear reading nice range of activities excellent for module on partnership working
A good support publication, especially if the practitioner is part of the CAF process.
Thts has been a useful book to guide discussion, and helps engage with the process of working with children as the centre
A very well organised book, which links theory and practice seamlessly. As a result, it provides clear guidance to students studying multi-agency working within children's services.
Interesting but not what I was needing - sorry. I wanted something more Youth work focused. I have apssed on to my colleague in Early Years.
Students commented on the clear, straight forward text. Some students said they would use some of the resources in their practice and would refer to some of the issues discussed in their role as practitioners as well as a student. Therefore they felt it was worth purchasing.
I found the downloadable materials in this book to be excellent. It is a great book particularly for tutors, and as such I have recommeded it to my colleagues working in the Health care and Early years department of the college
really helpful resource
