Working with Children 2006-07 is a unique source of facts, figures and information about children and families in the United Kingdom.
It combines statistical information collated by the childrens charity NCH with articles on a range of childrens issues written by key people in the field and an extensive Directory of contacts.

Working with Children 2006-07 provides information on a wide range of topics including health, poverty and social exclusion, homelessness, offending, child protection, care and education. The data on each topic is introduced with an overview of the social and political context, and a commentary on recent changes in government legislation and provision.

A key feature of the book is the Directory which contains a comprehensive list of addresses and contacts covering all areas of childrens welfare, support and care. These include government agencies
(national, regional and local contacts);professional associations; national voluntary organisations; institutions offering professional education and training,and other service providers.

This book will be of great interest to
anyone who works with, or is training to work with, children and adolescents in a wide range of sectors and will prove to be a valuable sourcebook of rich material.
