The current edition of this popular book has been updated to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake essential work with children. It also explores social workers′ values and attitudes in relation to the safety of children and includes references to important legislation such as Every Child Matters, Working Together 2006 and the Adoption and Children Act 2002.
