Child Development for Child Care and Protection Workers by Sally Wassell
This book is the first study of child development to be written specifically for practitioners in the child care and protection field. Summarising important current thinking on child development and applying it directly to practice, it considers ways in which development can be interrupted, and explores concepts of vulnerability and resilience.
`Child Development for Child Care and Protection Workers offers a good solid account of child development rooted in attachment theory - the current hot topic in childcare social work' -- Times Higher Education Supplement
`What a refreshing change to read a text on child development which is child-focused and embedded in an appropriate theoretical background…The bibliography is extensive and appropriate, and throughout there are suggested activities for the students to investigate. I found the activities to be thought-provoking, challenging and an excellent guide to a fully focused assessment of children. The child-focused nature of the text shines throughout…
It is to be hoped that this text is used widely, and that the next generation of child protection workers has the understanding and the knowledge to enable well-informed, child-focused decisionmaking in child protection.'
