Reseña del editor:

This second edition of 'Children's Needs - Parenting Capacity' provides an update on the impact of parental problems, such as substance misuse, domestic violence, learning disability and mental illness, on children's welfare. Research, and in particular the biennial overview reports of serious case reviews have continued to emphasise the importance of understanding and acting on concerns about children's safety and welfare where these types of parental problems are present. The book is divided into three parts: Part I explores the following general issues: Chapter 1: questions whether concern is justified, and explores the problems of definition and prevalence. Chapter 2: explores the ways in which mental illness, learning disability, problem drug use (including alcohol) and domestic violence affect parenting capacity. Chapter 3: identifies which children are most vulnerable. Part II has a specific focus on children of different ages and stages of development: Chapter 4: discusses the impact of parental problems for children under five years. Chapter 5: focuses on the issues for children aged five to ten years. Chapter 6: focuses on young people aged 11 years and over. Part III draws together the findings and implication for policy and practice: Chapter 7: discusses the conclusions from the study. Chapter 8: outlines the implications for policy and practice.

Reseña del editor:

This second edition of "Children's needs - parenting capacity" updates the original exploration of the research literature in the light of legal and policy changes in England and findings from more recent national and international research. The edition has also been expanded to cover parental learning disabilities and how it may impact on parenting and children's health and development. The findings show that these parenting issues affect children differently depending on their age and individual circumstances. While some children grow up apparently unscathed, others exhibit emotional and behavioural disorders. This knowledge can inform practitioners undertaking assessments of the needs of children and their families and effective service responses. This publication is essential reading for practitioners, managers and policy makers concerned with improving the outcomes for children and families who are experiencing such problems.
