This is an accessible and clearly written no-nonsense guide to integrated working across children's services.
Excellent and informative book in the context of multi-professional working
A highly knowledgeable book that enables students to see integrated working from a different perspective. Highly recommended!
A helpful introduction to the topic which will provide an overview of this important area to our students working in a range of contexts with children and young people
a valuable supplementary reading book for both our nursing and social work students
Currently recommended fror BA Childhood Studies. It is good to have a text that acknowledges the Scottish setting within its overview of policy. John is clearly very knowledgeable and this text has led me to buy and recommend his most recent text as well.
I will now be recommending both these texts to our year 3 B.Ed students for their early years placement where they investigate integrated working.
An excellent analysis of effective multi-agency practice based upon research into real world experiences of a multi-agency strategy.
Very useful, up to date and accessible.
Useful text book which can be used on a variety of programmes such as Education Studies, Health and Social Welfare and Social Work. Contains relevant up to date material.
