Making Connections with Vulnerable Children and Families - Jan Horwath - Bog

Making Connections with Vulnerable Children and Families is the practical go-to resource for practitioners looking to build effective relationships and engage meaningfully with vulnerable children and their families.

Compiled by Jan Horwath, lead editor of the bestselling child protection handbook The Child's World, the text features a wealth of clear, user-friendly, creative materials. The tools draw on evidence-based research and have been developed and tested by frontline practitioners from a range of disciplines working in Rochdale. Each tool includes a practice example as well as detail about aims, method, things to think about and possible adaptations. The tools can be used in a variety of work settings and the downloadable, versatile resources are all designed to support a relational approach to practice.

These tools will help you establish relationships with both children and their primary carers, understand their lived experience and the impact of this on the health and well-being of the child or adolescent. Additional tools are included for use with parents and primary carers to explore parenting capacity and the socio-economic factors that influence family life.
