The Short Guide to Working with Children and Young People Summary

The Short Guide to Working with Children and Young People by Liesl Conradie (Department of Applied Social Studies, University of Bedfordshire.)

Childhood and youth have become increasingly important key concepts across a range of disciplines, professions and studies. The short guide to working with children and young people is an accessible introduction into the main concepts, developments and policy related to this exciting area of work. Divided into two parts, the opening chapters prepare readers to think about work with children and young people by providing an overview of key theoretical perspectives related to the field. The second part focuses on work with children and young people by exploring the roles of some of the key practitioners at each stage and developing an understanding of what they do. This unique book provides a clear, concise and accessible overview of the subject and allows readers to make more informed choices in their career pathway. It provides a key starting point for relevant undergraduate degree courses as well as for people considering working in this field, and a valuable reference point for existing practitioners and volunteers.

This book does exactly what it says on the label. Readers are provided with important theories and concepts regarding child development, youth and adolescence. The authors promote the concept of reflective practice and offer a series of ideas and issues to reflect upon. Each chapter summarises key points raised and provides recommendations for further reading. This book will be an invaluable first text for anyone thinking about working with children and young people. Kate D'Arcy, University of Bedfordshire
This book will be useful to both students and practitioners. It considers relevant theory and research, such as child development, social construction of childhood and national and international law. It will be useful to both those who want to understand more, and those who want to develop their practice when working with children and young people. Jennifer Colloby, The Open University
