The book:•Exemplifies what multi-professional work looks like in practice•Examines real dilemmas faced by professionals trying to make it work, and shows how these dilemmas can be resolved•Considers lessons to be learnt, implications for practice and recommendations for making multi-professional practice more effective
Featuring helpful guidance, theoretical frameworks and evidence-based insights into practice, this book is a key resource for students studying on a wide range of courses related to children and families, as well as qualified social workers, teachers, support workers in children's centres, family support workers, health workers, and managers of a range of children and youth services.
