Social Work with Children, Young People and their Families in Scotland cover

This fully-updated and revised third edition addresses the changes to law and practice in relation to adoption and permanency, the children’s hearing system and the implications of the provisions of the Children and Young People (S) Act 2014 and other related matters, including the National Practice Model of GIRFEC. This is the only text to provide coverage of the new legal, policy and practice landscape of social work with children and families in Scotland, and as such, it is an indispensable guide for students, newly-qualified social workers, managers and practice teachers and a range of other professionals in health, education, the police and others in cognate disciplines.

This provides not only useful information for comparison of child protection systems and procedures, but also some succinct summaries of theoretical perspectives. -- Mr Dan Burrows
This is an excellent supplementary text to a third year module that covers international social work perspectives. I enjoyed the way the book linked similarities to social work practice in England in Wales in this field, but also clearly drawing out the distinctive differences. Students may well want to use Scotland for their summative assignment and this text would be a good starting point. -- Mrs Kay Wall
Useful text for students in the Uk to read and refer to regarding differing practices. -- Ms Allison Dunhill
