About the Book

It is not always clear what the concept of "partnership" under the Children Act 1989 should mean. This volume deals with the concept of partnership from the perspectives of law, social work and social theory, representing an overview of the different forms that partnership may take in relations between the various individuals and agencies concerned with protecting children and promoting their welfare. The chapters are not merely descriptive in nature: several take an analytical and critical view. This text analyzes how the partnership principle is reflected in the law; examines partnership between agencies; explores partnership with children in the light of provisions in the Children Act 1989 which require consultation with children; looks at issues of partnership with parents and discusses child protection conferences and social work agreements. The book also reminds us that the notion of partnership can individualize issues and distract attention away from the need for resources and general policies to aid the poorest and most vulnerable families.

Review :
`all readers with an interest in the recent developments in child welfare will be challenged and interested by at least some of its contents … should certainly be welcomed for taking the important idea of `partnership' seriously and providing some good material to help us explore and develop the idea in more detail.' `There are no weak chapters; each one is written with conviction and verve. This is an excellent book. It is a nice example of the conceptual insights that are generated when different academic disciplines tackle a shared concern.' `This is a valuable collection of essays … [the book] comes from Brunel University's Centre for the Study of Law, the Child and the Family and it demonstrates the high standard of scholarship which that Centre is producing … The book is of value to law and social work students, and to any practitioner seeking a scholarly and theoretical treatment of the subject.' `…'handy', something for the teacher, or psychologist to dip into …'
