Description
It is vital that professionals find effective ways of working together with children and young people within multi-agency settings. This book explores ways of doing this through reflection and a child development approach. The reader is encouraged to make links between their own knowledge of children and young people's development and experiences of recent changes in service delivery to uncover the commonality of the language of child development. By thinking and reflecting on how and why services are delivered in particular ways, the reader can explore the links that already exist between these areas and build upon their professional skills.
