The study of family centres - monitoring their objectives, examining key challenges faced and evaluating approaches to practice - is fundamental to the delivery of effective, evidence-based services. This book details and evaluates expert research into the developing role of family centres in the light of current political and social trends including, the Every Child Matters legislation. It outlines the different user groups serviced by family centres; the various combinations of services provided and the contribution that these are making to positive outcomes for children; major tasks facing family centres such as optimising access to services; and important partnerships between family centres and other services such as education and health care. Based on the evidence, the authors highlight key messages for future development.; A vital addition to the literature on child care services, "Improving Children's Services Networks" is essential reading for social care practitioners and students, government policy makers and planners. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Family social work|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Social work with children|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Community-based family services|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Family social work. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPublic Policy|xSocial Services & Welfare.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPublic Policy|xSocial Security. |2bisacsh 650 7 Community-based family services.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00871197 650 7 Family social work.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00920516 650 7 Social work with children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01123490 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 700 1 Aldgate, Jane,|d1945- 700 1 Hughes, Marilyn,|d1947- 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTunstill, Jane.|tImproving children's services networks.|dLondon ; Philadelphia : Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2007|z184310461X|z9781843104612 |w(DLC) 2006030603|w(OCoLC)71800501 914 ocn122569356 994 93|bGTK
