Integrated Working with Children and Young People
Supporting Development from Birth to Nineteen

Edited by:


May 2012 | 256 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This interdisciplinary core textbook looks at learning and development from birth to 19 years, and provides an accessible introduction to the common areas of study across the many roles supporting learning and development. There is coverage of common themes and issues, and theory is closely integrated with practice throughout. Chapters cover: physical development, cognitive development, social and emotional development, professionalism, leadership, quality and effectiveness, working with families, safeguarding and promoting well-being, transitions, and equality and inclusion.

Reflection points, workplace activities and professional development planners are all included, and these challenge readers and students to critically engage with theory in their own practice. The book focuses on the key areas of knowledge that all those working with children are required to study, and places them firmly in the context of working together to support children and young people.

This book is a great reource for youth workers, and others, exploring how their work is moving towards a more integrated approach. I am, therefore, recommending that it be taken up by our library.

This is an essential reader for all those in the helping professions. The scope of the authors does give a broad background to teachers, social workers, youthworkers and teaching assistants. The chapters address issues that are current and mandatory topics for all those working in the helping professions.
