Google Preview: Safeguarding Children Across Services provides a summary ofimportant evidence on child protection and addresses the keyissues facing today's practitioners. Based on the latest research, it gives practical and accessible advice for those involved in safeguarding children.The book begins by defining the different forms of abuse andtheir effects, and examining the effectiveness of universalpreventative measures such as education programmes. The core of the book evaluates methods for intervention following abuse, beginning with a consideration of general interventions,including social work, which help parents to modify theirbehaviours. The following chapters analyse specific therapeuticinterventions where there is a family history of drug abuse,domestic violence or mental health difficulties. The book alsofocuses on the implications of child protection practice foradolescents, an important but often-overlooked subject.Throughout the book, the authors recommend ways in whichinter-agency communication, clear guidelines for referral andassessment, and earlier intervention can lead to more effectiveprevention of childhood abuse.Providing a critical account of policy, systems and practice, thisbook will be essential reading for anyone involved in theprocess of safeguarding children, from policymakers and socialworkers to healthcare professionals and students.; IntroductionThe Proposal Readers, Expectations and FunctionsA General Framework for Developing ProposalsSome IssuesMethodsWriting the ProposalTactics; 'It has much to offer people writing proposals for any purpose. The book's great asset is an open mind on many of the hobby horses ridden so vehemently by unidimensional researchers. Rather than becoming embroiled in, for example the quantitative versus qualitative debate, it sensibly argues for research questions themselves to govern the choice of method. A proposal may, perfectly legitimately, mix methods from both paradigms... It is an invaluable companion manual for supervisors, research students, and even professionals who write proposals for money. A small amount spent on it will enhance the chance of greater returns in the future' - British Journal of Healthcare Computing and Information Management; Google Preview content
