Topics include the development of children's identities, the value of play in the lives of contemporary children, the promotion of children's health, risk and staying safe, and family law. The contributors draw upon research and practice to analyse and examine the policies, services and practice skills needed for collaborative, effective and equitable work with children.

Over the year this has been a great book to reference during my studies. It has clear defined chapters that I found very helpful while studying Lego therapy. I have also found this book helpful for writing policies for an educational setting.
Well worth adding to your reading list 📖
