Inhaltsangabe

Multiprofessional practice in the delivery of services is a central government imperative in the UK and other countries. This book offers a practical resource to professionals charged with conceptualising, planning, implementing and evaluating multiprofessional practice in children's services. The book:

• Exemplifies what multiprofessional work looks like in practice
• Examines real dilemmas faced by professionals trying to make it work, and shows how these dilemmas can be resolved
• Considers lessons to be learnt, implications for practice and recommendations for making multiprofessional practice effective

Discussion of dilemmas facing multiprofessional teams include organising and managing multi-professional teams, supporting professionals as they learn to adapt to new roles and responsibilities, and learning how to share professional knowledge and expertise.

Featuring useful guidance, theoretical frameworks and evidence-based insights into practice, this book is a key resource for students on courses studying early childhood and families, as well as social workers, teachers, support workers in children's centres, family support workers, health workers, and managers of a range of children and youth services.
