This practical book shows how to assess and analyse the needs of children living with trauma and family violence using the 'Assessment Framework'. The authors analyse the impact of exposure to a climate of trauma and family violence and a child’s development and their capacity to form attachments.  Chapter 1 provides an overview of the recent research on trauma and family violence, Chapter 2 introduces a model for analysing what is going on for the child and the family, and Chapter 3 introduces assessment tools. A case history is then used to track through the process of assessment at its early stages of initial and core assessment (Chapter 4) and then at safeguarding level (Chapter 5). Two following chapters discuss whether change is feasible and explore ways of preventing and intervening in family violence and trauma. The publication concludes with a case example which involved a network of professionals and where the court was involved.
