Edited by Pam Foley and Stephen Leverett (Policy Press, £19.99, ISBN 978 1 84742 058 9)
This textbook is the first in the publisher's 'Working together for children' series. Its aim is to equip everyone in the children's workforce with the ability to form, develop and sustain relationships, not only with children but also parents, carers and other people who work with them. It supports the view that in order to develop good working relationships and deliver children's services, practitioners need to understand how and why they communicate and what affects that communication.
The collection of authors draw on theory, research and practice to provide a new perspective on contemporary issues such as bullying, resilience, participation and transitions. At the book's core is a questioning of the politics and status of childhood today. For example, a chapter on 'Listening across generations' considers the evolving changes of child-adult relations that frame policy and practice developments.
