Aimed at frontline workers with responsibility for child protection, safeguarding and family support, the new edition will help in navigating the expanding complexities of child care assessments. It draws on the published literature from many parts of the English-speaking world, and incorporates responses to major developments in the field, with increased emphasis on the importance of addressing risk. It includes completely new material, for example on working with parents with a learning disability. It also incorporates responses to the significant developments in UK legislation and guidance, including: the evolution of the Assessment Framework into the Common Assessment Framework and the Integrated Children's System; the Munro review of child protection; the change of government in 2010; and an eleventh hour concession in the 2013 edition of Working Together, that workers can talk about the reality of what they work with every day - risk. Content also covers: risk and child protection; supervising and managing staff undertaking assessments; assessment of child physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, failure to thrive, and sexual abuse; parental alcohol and substance misuse; involving children and young people in assessments; and assessing parenting capacity.
