Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe book scores 5 stars on Amazon I'm newly qualified, working in paediatric high dependency. Got this book a few weeks ago and now I have it with me every shift. It is pocket sized but doesn't miss out any information. Very easy to understand, so useful for someone newly qualified. I've looked at some of the other books on the market, and they are too in depth. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone working in PICU or PHDU. This excellent little book will become a classic for all children's nurses caring for critically ill children. I randomly tested the content by looking up information in the index and was rewarded with a broad and up to date range of contents. The book will be especially useful to staff nurses new to the specialty where the book's brevity, depth and transparency will come into its own. I have already recommended the book to many of my colleagues and loaned it to them for their opinion and comment. The feedback so far has been universally positive. The authors must be congratulated for their splendid book. Jerry Masterson, RGN, RN (Child ) Dip Ch. Excellent pocket book which is written in an easy to follow style covering the essential points for anyone working with critically ill children.Very easy to follow sections with all the essential information immediately to hand. This book is great to have in your pocket at work so you can dip in and out when you want...it was my bible when I first went into PICU!!! This is an excellent book. It is pocket sized so it is excellent to keep in your pocket whilst at work. It gives excellent explanations of all aspects of intensive care. It is easy to understand even for a beginner! I recently started a job in PICU and was recommended this book as a useful guide. This book has helped me so much and I take it on every shift. Working with critically ill children can be overwhelming and the required knowledge is vast, this book is a fantastic aid in managing that knowledge and enabling you to help care for patients effectively. I also feel that this book would also help nurses caring for children in a non-intensive care setting. Wonderful book for a newly qualified nurse working on a PICU. Very easy to use and handy size to carry about. Highly recommended! This book has some really useful information for everyday questions on PICU; it's easy to use and is suitable for all nurses in this setting - be it newly qualified or switching areas.

Book SynopsisChild Development for Child Care and Protection Workers is a classic text for students and practitioners in the child care and protection field which summarises important current thinking on child development and applies it directly to practice.The book covers key issues such as resilience and vulnerability and the impact of protective or adverse environments. Different stages of development (infancy, school age and adolescence) are discussed, and attachment theory is used to offer insights into the impact of abuse and neglect on development. A key feature is the inclusion of case studies and activities to allow the reader to improve their understanding and reflect on good practice. This second edition is fully updated to reflect the new policy context and multi-disciplinary practice, and contains updated practice examples to take into account contemporary issues affecting children and young people.This book encourages practitioners to consider each child as an individual with unique circumstances, and links theory and practice in an imaginative and sympathetic way. It will be essential reading for all child care and protection workers.Trade ReviewPraise for the first edition:'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 SupplementWhat 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 decision making in child protection. -- Child Abuse ReviewPraise for the second edition:'The inclusion of 'hints for answers' is a useful tool for relating theory to practice. 'Key messages' at the end of each chapter are helpful, as they allow the preceding chapter to be successfully summarised.Another positive feature of this book is that the layout enables the reader either to identify particular chapters relevant to their practice and read them in isolation or make sense of them in the wider context of the book. The text should also be praised for recognising the importance of considering each child as an individual, and taking wider environmental factors and the impact they have, into consideration. I would recommend this book to students and practitioners working in areas of child care and protection, as it is easy to read, and can be applied to the individual's own practice.' -- Pracice: Social Work in ActionThe continuing strength of this text is that it synthesises knowledge of child development with the daily realities for child care practitioners. It is most definitely a book that is meant not just to be read but to be applied and can, in my opinion, help to reinvigorate the "drained" practitioner. -- Wiley Online LibraryI think this book is an extremely useful resource for social workers and would be of particular value to foster carers and other professionals such as teachers and health professionals. It is above alla book that equips professionals with rich theoretical knowledge which encourages us all to actively contribute to promoting resilience and protective factors in children and young people. -- Seen and Heard... it really would be a shame to miss this book's contents... To pluck one notable example of the useful material on offer, I would draw your attention to page 106 in the Protective Factors and Adversity chapter as somewhere to go if you really need to consider ''what constitutes risk and harm?'' This section helps the reader to really consider interpreting, assessing and managing those two concepts, and, very importantly, managing them in some very sensitive family situations. This chapter explains succinctly what to look at and why. I can't say more - it's a definite must have - my copy is going nowhere. -- PSW- Professional Social Work, Carlyn Taylore-Score, Family Court Advisor, CAFCASS Bolton[The authors] have fashioned a book that is informed and informative, theoretically wise and practically useful. Readers will value Child Development for Child Care and Protection Workers for the wisdom that it brings and the guidance that it offers. And armed with the knowledge so neatly wrapped up in the pages of this very sensible book, the reflective practitioner will be well placed to make young lives that much better. -- From the Foreword by Professor David Howe, Professor of Social Work, University of East Anglia, UKThe second edition of this highly regarded book is most welcome. The chapters, written by experts in the field, will assist those working with children and young people to understand key developmental processes. The practical approach used throughout this book will also ensure practitioners are well equipped to undertake child-centred assessments and identify appropriate interventions. -- Professor Jan Horwath, Professor of Child Welfare, University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisSolution focused approaches offer proven ways of helping children overcome a whole range of difficulties, from academic problems to mental health issues, by helping them to identify their strengths and achievements.Based on solution focused practice principles, this book illustrates communication skills and playful techniques for working with all children and young people, regardless of any health, learning or development need. It demonstrates how the approach can capture children's views, wishes and worries, and can assist them in identifying their strengths and abilities. The approach encourages positive decision-making, and helps children to overcome challenges, achieve their goals and reach their full potential. The book is packed with case examples, practical strategies, and practice activities. This valuable text will be of great use to a range of practitioners working with children and young people, including social workers, youth workers, counsellors, teachers and nurses.Trade ReviewThis book does what is says on the tin, it offers the reader solution- focused approaches to enable children to overcome challenges to reach their full potential. It is well written and does not over complicate the topic... An excellent reference text for anyone working with children and teenagers. As a mother of two myself, I think this book is useful for parents who may be facing some of the identified challenges. I found it relevant not only in my professional role but as a parent of a teenager. -- NursingTimes.netI have been unable to discover if there have been other books written about this subject but, if so, I doubt there are many better. It is a practical, straightforward guide, rich in ideas and presented in a clear, concise, sensitive, occasionally humorous and very readable format... It will be a useful addition to the library of solution-focused trainee counsellors or those, who like me, practise primarily using other theoretical approaches. It both promotes and demonstrates respect for, and interest in, the child, and is written with an air of common sense, positivity and honesty that is refreshing. -- Counselling Children & Young PeopleI very much recommend this book for practitioners. Even if you only read the first chapter, you will learn or be reminded about different ways of engaging young people. -- RostrumEveryone would benefit from incorporating strengths based practice into their work, and their life, and this book will undoubtedly provide the reader with numerous invaluable insights, as well as an overview of the process. There is also a resources section, which may point people in the direction of further reading/materials. -- IASWThese authors demonstrate here their wide experience with challenging behaviour in children and families. There is also extensive coverage of issues around safeguarding children and work within child protection. The text is clear and engaging throughout, with many minimal yet thought-provoking case vignettes. Exercises for the student and for the children and their families form a large part of the book. Some of the exercises are ideal for encouraging reflective practice and for use as educational elements in supervision settings. I can see this book becoming a regular reference text for workers in children's mental health services, social workers and family support workers, consulted whenever a particular type of referral is received, or when a new worker joins the team. -- Dr Alasdair Macdonald, consultant psychiatrist and family therapist, UKThis book will be invaluable for anyone working with children and their families. Packed full of simple (yet not simplistic) ideas for constructive practice, it brings together the wide experience of the authors to present real examples of how a solution-focused approach can make a difference to the lives of children. This practice wisdom ensures that it connects with practitioners in a direct, meaningful and helpful way, as well as clearly demonstrating how solution-focused principles and techniques are applied. -- Steve Myers, Associate Head of Engagement, School of Social Work, University of Salford, UK and author of Solution-focused ApproachesTable of ContentsAcknowledgements. 1.

Book SynopsisOriginally emanating from presentations at an international conference, this text brings together research and practice development from three perspectives: practice, management and education. Within these three sections the book presents a series of chapters written mainly by practitioners, but some in collaboration with academics. At the end of each section there is a commentary by a practitioner, manager or researcher, which aims to offer a helpful critique on the papers in their section, guiding the reader to consider other areas of research and practice development. At a time when practitioners are being called to produce and use evidence in their practice, this book should offer a valuable contribution to that evidence base.Table of ContentsForeword Fiona Smith.

This essential text presents the core information that all nursing students and apprentices along with other key health and social care professions, regardless of field, need to know about caring for people with a learning disability and autism. It outlines some of the key challenges faced by people with a learning disability and autism and ways in which good care can improve their quality of life. People with a learning disability and autism are more likely to need support with aspects of everyday life, be marginalised within society, including within health and social care, and die younger than the rest of the population.
