Children in Care [EPUB ebook] 
Needs, challenges and evidence

Written by leading children’s services experts and clinical researchers, this book is for anyone interested in up-to-date, evidence-based approaches to working with children in care. Drawing on modern research, the book offers practical guidance on how to plan and deliver round-the-clock care and education to children who have experienced traumatic events and disruptions to their attachments. This emphasis will be particularly important for those working in schools, children’s homes and providing care in families through fostering and in other everyday settings such as hospitals, surgeries and dental practices. Child protection professionals today are often working in extremely challenging environments, with scant resources. The advice offered in this book will equip readers with considered approaches that help to build co-operation and connection between services and communities where children can be helped to thrive and to ensure creative resolutions are found for vulnerable children. This text book will help those studying social work, teaching, social policy, child psychology, nursing, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
