This textbook explores the changing children, young people and families (CYPF) landscape and the varied roles within that landscape. It considers the question of what are the essential skills and qualities for working with children and families today. It provides practitioners and students with opportunities to reflect upon what it means to be an effective practitioner, through the exploration of theoretical material and practice case studies from a range of professional disciplines.
