'The authors are to be congratulated on producing such a readable text. It draws on a wide range of source materials and clearly sets out theory and research to aid understanding of the contexts around, and lessons for, practice.'- Brian Littlechild, Professor of Social Work, University of Hertfordshire, UK 'This book provides a unique perspective for students and practitioners in child and family social work.Contemporary policy and research evidence is thoroughly linked to ecological theory and child development to provide a guide for best practice across a range of settings. A strength of this book is the attention to similarities and differences in policies and practices across all four UK nations.' - Dr Sally Holland, Reader in Social Work, Cardiff University, UK 'Helen Donnellan and Gordon Jack have provided us with a rich text that not only clearly delineates the contemporary situation for practitioners but also details the historical journey in terms of how policy and practice has developed. This is a very timely publication and I would recommend it to all those with an interest in children's social work'- Nushra Mansuri, leader on social work issues in England, on behalf of The British Association of Social Workers, UK
