Bristol University Press Children of the 21st century: From birth to nine
Book SynopsisThis book documents the early lives of almost 19,000 children born in the UK at the start of the 21st century, and their families. It is the first time that analysis of data from the hugely important Millennium Cohort Study, a longitudinal study following the progress of the children and their families, has been drawn together in a single volume. The unrivalled data is examined here to address important policy and scientific issues. The book is also the first in a series of publications that will report on the children's lives at different stages of their development. The fascinating range of findings presented here is strengthened by comparison with data on earlier generations. This has enabled the authors to assess the impact of a wide range of policies on the life courses of a new generation, including policies on child health, parenting, childcare and social exclusion. Babies of the new millennium (title tbc) is the product of an exciting collaboration from experts across a wide range of health and social science fields. The result is a unique and authoritative analysis of family life and early childhood in the UK that cuts across old disciplinary boundaries. It is essential reading for academics, students and researchers in the health and social sciences. It will also be a useful resource for policy makers and practitioners who are interested in childhood, child development, child poverty, child health, childcare and family policy.Trade Review"... this study is valuable not only in its own right, but because it is also able to draw on earlier studies begun in 1946, 1958 and 1970 and make comparisons. ... this book is a useful compendium of information." Children Now Magazine" ... the book is a useful teaching and information resource, in its clear data reporting of the initial sweep of the MCS."

Policy Press Growing up with risk
Book Synopsis"Growing up with risk" provides a critical analysis of ways in which risk assessment and management - now a pervasive element of contemporary policy and professional practice - are defined and applied in policy, theory and practice in relation to children and young people. Drawing on conceptual frameworks from across the social sciences, the book examines contrasting perspectives on risk that occur in different policy domains and professional and lay discourses, discussing the dilemmas of response that arise from these sometimes contested viewpoints - from playground safety to risks associated with youthful substance use. The contributors address issues of gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status which impact on definitions and responses to risk, and consider related concepts, such as 'risk-resilience', care-control' and 'dependence-autonomy'. Written in an accessible manner, each chapter provides a specific policy case study to illustrate the cross-cutting themes and issues that will make it a key text for researchers and students. It also offers policy makers and practitioners a valuable insight into the complexities of balancing responsibility for protecting the young with the benefits of risk taking and the need to allow young people to experiment.Trade Review"This interesting and exciting book makes an original contribution to the developing field of risk theory, taking a wide ranging look at the issue of risk as it relates to the process of growing up in our increasingly cautious culture. 'Growing up with risk' is not to be missed by anyone interested in risk and young people." Marilyn Gregory, Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield"In a debate all too often characterised by either nostalgic moral panics about a simpler past, or abstract theory that takes too little account of the lived and variable experience of young people, this book provides a welcome balance of theoretical insight and empirical specificity. It is, then, a timely collection, bringing a wealth of scholarship to bear on questions which will be of interest to academics and policy makers, and to anyone with a concern about how public policy intersects with culture on the issue of growing up."

Policy Press The National Evaluation of Sure Start: Does
Book SynopsisSure Start Local Programmes (SSLPs) was a major strategic effort by New Labour towards ending child poverty. By changing the way services were delivered to children under four and their families, through targeting and empowering highly-deprived small geographic areas, SSLPs were intended to enhance child, family and community functioning. Following 5 years of systemic research exploring the efficacy and impact of this grand experiment, this book pulls together, in a single volume, the results of the extensive National Evaluation of Sure Start (NESS). The book reviews the history of policies pertaining to child health and well being which preceded and set the stage for Sure Start. It provides insight into how SSLPs were expected to function and how they actually operated, both in terms of their strengths, weaknesses and costs. The contributors examine the nature of the communities in which these programmes were situated and how they changed over time; present the early effects of SSLPs on children and families, with evidence highlighting some small beneficial effects and some small deleterious ones and extract specific features of SSLPs that contributed to whether individual programmes benefited children and families, providing a guide for the revision of programmes and policies. With a foreword from Naomi Eisdenstadt, former Director of the Sure Start Programme and concluding chapter by Prof. Sir Michael Rutter, member of the government's scientific advisory board overseeing NESS, this book provides an insightful critique of SSLP policy and NESS that will be of interest to students of child development, families and communities, as well as policymakers and policy scholars, local and national providers of services to children and families and evaluation specialists.Trade Review" This is an excellent piece of work, which I recommend to service planners, students of social policy and service providers alike, since it, and the more detailed published papers it references, contains useful lessons at all levels." Children and Society"A useful piece of research analysis and policy discussion." D Saltiel, University of Leeds"Each chapter in this book provides a robust, well referenced and detailed analysis of the various aspects of the SSLPs and of the on-going monitoring undertaken by NESS." British Journal of Social Work, Vol 38:6, 2008. "This book offers students and professionals, policymakers and evaluators working with young children and families a full overview of the Sure Start programme... The book contains some rigorous analysis of complex data but also some very accessible writing by academics." Lynda Hassall, Community Care June 2008"This complex and comprehensive evaluation is written with admirable skill and diplomacy. For those of us in health, education and social care, it focuses on raising the profile of preventive action in the early years."

Policy Press Children, families and social exclusion: New
Book SynopsisMany policy and practice initiatives that aim to prevent social exclusion focus on children and young people. This book seeks to consider new approaches to understanding the complexities of prevention, and how these new understandings can inform policy and practice. The authors use evidence from the National Evaluation of the Children's Fund to illustrate and explore the experiences of children and families who are most marginalised. They consider the historical context of approaches to child welfare, and present a new framework for understanding and developing preventative polices and practice within the context of social exclusion. Preventative initiatives such as the Children's Fund have supported large-scale complex evaluations that have generated rich and important data about strategies for addressing social exclusion and what they can achieve. The findings of this book have direct relevance for all those engaged in developing preventative policy and practice and will therefore be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and students of child welfare and social policy more broadly, in providing a timely discussion of key debates in designing, delivering and commissioning preventative services.Trade Review"This important book helps put some of the excitement back into the issues surrounding prevention of the consequences of social exclusion, with messages worth thinking about - and acting on - for practitioners, policy makers and other researchers. " Jane Tunstill, Emeritus Professor of Social Work, Royal Holloway, London UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction; Social exclusion, child welfare and well-being; Contemporary issues for preventative child welfare; The development of preventative policy and practice: an overview; The Children's Fund: strategies for social inclusion; The Children's Fund: activities and impacts of partnership strategies; New understandings for prevention; Conclusion: effective preventative approaches.

Bristol University Press Contemporary fathering: Theory, policy and
Book SynopsisSince 1997, child welfare services have been faced with new demands to engage fathers or develop father-inclusive services. This book emerges from work by the author as a researcher and educator over many years on the issues posed by this agenda for child welfare practitioners in a variety of contexts.

The author employs a feminist perspective to highlight the opportunities and dangers in contemporary developments for those wishing to advance gender equity. A key strength of the book is its inter-disciplinary focus. It will be required reading for students, graduate and postgraduate, of social work, social policy, sociology and child and family studies. Academic researchers will also find the book invaluable because of its breadth of scholarship. Trade Review" This book is an important tool in providing the background and the practical experience that is needed to deliver services that include fathers, at a time when more and more is expected of practitioners.

Springer International Publishing AG Child First: Developing a New Youth Justice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the development and implementation of Child First as an innovative guiding principle for improving youth justice systems. Applying contemporary research understandings of what leads to positive child outcomes and safer communities, Child First challenges traditional risk-led and stigmatising approaches to working with children in trouble. It has now been adopted as the four-point guiding principle for all policy and practice across the youth justice system in England and Wales, it is becoming a key reform principle for youth justice in Northern Ireland, and it is increasingly influential across several western jurisdictions. With contributions from academics, policymakers and practitioners, this book critically charts the progress and challenges in establishing a progressive evidence-led youth justice system. Its dynamic and accessible integration of theory, research, policy and practice, alongside discussion of critical themes, makes it a key read for students on youth crime/justice modules and for a wider market.Stephen Case is Professor of Youth Justice in the Criminology, Sociology and Social Policy division at Loughborough University, UK.

Springer International Publishing AG Children with Special Needs: An Overview of
Book SynopsisThere can be a lack of understanding of the vulnerable situation of children with disabilities and their families, even among professional caregivers whose mission is to protect the health and wellbeing of these children. Their respectful treatment should include knowledge, empathy, humanity, and an open and sympathetic dialogue. This book provides an overview of knowledge and literature review of children and adolescents with special care needs that contribute to the respect and understanding of children with disabilities and their families. It also explains possible reasons for different outcomes in research studies and why there is a lack of knowledge in some areas concerning these children. Research on children with disabilities is considerable but often can be difficult to access on many levels, which means it does not always benefit those who need this knowledge. This compact book addresses this by presenting the international research in the field in an understandable way for people who work with children with disabilities and their families. The authors provide a broad picture of the background, reality of life, opportunities for professional help and support, as well as outlook of these children and families. Among the topics covered: The Health and Well-being of Children with Disabilities The Health and Well-being of Relatives Occupation On the Road to Adulthood Children with Special Needs: An Overview of Knowledge on Disability is pertinent reading for students in all areas of health care (including nursing and psychology), social work, sociology, and education aimed at children and young people. The text also would be of interest to those who practice in these areas and/or encounter children with disabilities in their daily work.Table of ContentsBACKGROUND Summary Introduction Definitions and prevalence Previous research Stress and treatment References THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES Summary Case Physical health of children with disabilities Family-Oriented Care Orofacial health of children with disabilities Mental health / illness in children with disabilities References THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF RELATIVES Summary Case Parents Siblings Grandparents References OCCUPATION Summary Case School and education Recreation for Children with Disabilities Relief, support, and assistance References ON THE ROAD TO ADULTHOOD Summary Case Attachment and psychosocial development Transition Inclusion, exclusion, and risk behaviors References WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS Summary Case Neglect and abuse Deaths References

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Sick Boys – Intensivmaßnahmen der Kinder- und
Book SynopsisIntensivmaßnahmen gehören zu den fachlich kontrovers diskutierten Maßnahmen der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe. Einerseits richten sie sich an jene jungen Menschen, die durch reguläre Maßnahmen der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe nicht mehr erreicht werden können und sollen somit den individuellen Bedarfen junger Menschen nachkommen. Andererseits zeichnen sich Intensivmaßnahmen durch einen stark repressiven Zugriff auf junge Menschen aus und folgen scheinbar der Logik einer immer ein bisschen engeren und exklusiveren Maßnahme. In diesem Zugriff auf junge Menschen wird jedoch ein Spannungsfeld sichtbar, welches sich zwischen pädagogischen Standards wie dem Aufbau einer tragfähigen auf Freiwilligkeit beruhenden pädagogischen Beziehung einerseits und gesellschaftspolitischen Forderungen nach einer repressiven Normverdeutlichung andererseits aufspannt. In der empirischen Analyse wird dieses Spannungsfeld aus der Perspektive der jungen Menschen in den Blick genommen und der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern Intensivmaßnahmen für die jungen Menschen zu Erziehungsorten werden können. Mit Bezug auf den Capabilities-Approach ist die Frage erkenntnisleitend, inwiefern Intensivmaßnahmen zu einer Erweiterung der individuellen Handlungsmöglichkeiten beitragen können oder weitere gesellschaftliche Ausschlusserfahrungen evozieren.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Geschlechterkonstruktionen von Erziehern in
Book SynopsisAusgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Frage, welche Geschlechterkonstruktionen Erzieher in Kindertageseinrichtungen (Kitas) haben und inwieweit diese Einfluss auf die pädagogischen Handlungen der Fachkräfte im Alltag nehmen. Dabei richtet sich der Blick zum einen auf die individuellen Vorstellungen der Erzieher von Geschlecht, zum anderen auf deren Wissen um eine geschlechterbewusste Pädagogik und wie sie sich zu einer solchen positionieren. Begründet wird die Fragestellung durch die in den vergangenen Jahren kontinuierlich gestiegene fachliche und politische sowie medial-öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit des Arbeitsfeldes und damit auch der dort agierenden (männlichen) Fachkräfte. Mit der gestiegenen Wahrnehmung geht eine qualitative wie quantitative Zunahme von Anforderungen einher. Die fachliche Auseinandersetzung mit Geschlecht und Geschlechterfragen ist eine von diesen.Ein Hauptergebnis dieser Arbeit ist die Erkenntnis eines Zusammenhangs zwischen den individuellen Männlichkeits- und Geschlechtervorstellungen einerseits und dem pädagogisch-fachlichem Umgang mit Geschlechterthemen (Stichwort „Genderkompetenz“) andererseits: Erzieher mit eher traditionellen Geschlechtervorstellungen reproduzieren diese im Alltag wieder, wohingegen Erzieher mit progressiven Vorstellungen Kindern mehr Freiheiten lassen Neues kennenzulernen und sich auszuprobieren. Der sichere Umgang mit dem Querschnittsthema Geschlecht ist daher eine Kernkompetenz für alle pädagogischen Fachkräfte in Kitas.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Geschlecht und Gesellschaft.- Kindertageseinrichtungen.- Theoretische Vorannahmen und empirische Ergebnisse.- Fragestellung.- Methodologie und Forschungsdesign.- Methodische Vorgehensweise.- Darstellung der Forschungsergebnisse.- Diskussion der Ergebnisse.- Resümee und Ausblick.

Book SynopsisThis report examines nutrition, providing a fresh perspective on a rapidly evolving challenge. Despite progress in the past two decades, around 200 million under-fives suffer from undernutrition. Adding to this toll is rising obesity, which affects 38 million children. All these forms of malnutrition threaten children's development, while obesity is creating a lifelong legacy of disease. At the heart of this evolving challenge is a global shift towards modern diets that do not meet children's nutritional requirements. The report provides unique data and analysis of malnutrition in the 21st century and outlines recommendations to put children's needs at the heart of global and national food systems.

In addition, many millions of children from some of the world's most marginalised communities have long missed out on life-saving vaccination. Catch-up and recovery are needed urgently to vaccinate the children missed and to avoid further backsliding. And greater effort is needed to reach the children historically left behind. The State of the World's Children 2023 examines what needs to happen to ensure that every child, everywhere is protected against vaccine-preventable diseases
