• Evaluating and developing children and family services
• Participation and engagement in integrated family centers
• Contemporary leadership and management in multiprofessional teams
• Innovative multiprofessional learning
• Creative multiprofessional environments
Each chapter incorporates activities to support professional development. There are six case study chapters that analyze specific examples from inclusive education, integrated family support, integrated children's services (education, health and social services), participatory family center design and professional mentoring.
This is an excellent text for my EY EYP students as they have a core module on MA working
The inter professional training we carry out within the faculty does not focus on specialist practice but is far more generalist.
Effective use of case studies to explore the challenges of mulit-professional working. Also explores contemporary leadership and management within children's services with good context.
Look forward to using this excellent textbook with those of our students who are, or have been, practitioners.
A must have for any practitioner!
Practical and easy to read. A bit children focused but has good references and up to date
very good, relevant and essential information
