NEW WHISTLEBLOWING AND ETHICS IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE ANGIE ASH MAY 2016 • 176pp • £17.99 9781849056328 - eBook-9781784501082

Those who speak up about poor, corrupt or unethical practice often do so at a great personal cost. This timely book explores our understanding of the ethics of whistleblowing and shows how managers and organisations can support individuals speaking out.

While some professional guidelines formalize duties to speak out where there are concerns about poor or harmful practice, workplace cultures often do not encourage or support this, and individuals frequently find themselves victims of a backlash. The book looks at the ethics of whistleblowing, and why some people speak out about corrupt or harmful practice, but many do not. It offers a practical framework for creating ethically-driven health and social care organizations that support and protect individuals speaking out.

Whistleblowing and Ethics in Health and Social Care is essential reading for students, professionals and decision makers across health, social care and criminal justice.

“

Whistleblowing and Ethics in Health and Social Care is more than timely. In-depth and well researched, its themes hit the mark - including organisational culture, paradoxes, corrupt practices, silence, by-standing and blind spots - as do the many disturbing examples given. Ethical leadership may be a solution as good as any, as the book suggests, but ethical leadership seems, in reality, scarce on the ground, thus making the book all the more important to remind us of the magnitude of the problem.

Everything You Need to Know About Covert Recording, Undercover Cameras and Secret Filming JOE PLOMIN FEB 2016 • 224pp • £12.99 9781849056434 - eBook-9781784501365

The complete and authoritative guide to the use of hidden cameras to expose abuse or wrongdoing.

Secret filming is no longer the preserve of specialists, professional journalists and private investigators. Drawing on the author’s own experience producing undercover documentaries and wearing secret cameras, this book explains covert recording for the general public, including specific advice on the practicalities of using a phone or covert camera to record evidence. It considers the legal and ethical issues and provides vital information for anyone who may use or encounter secret filming, including the people or organisations that might be filmed, regulators, social workers, local government officials and anyone who may encounter it in court. It also looks to the future of covert filming and the implications of technological advances, such as drone cameras.

“

No one understands secret filming like Joe Plomin. This book is essential reading for all those trying to hold power to account in the digital age.

- Paul Mason, journalist and broadcaster JOE PLOMIN, one the best-known producers of covert television documentaries, has led some of Britain’s most high-profile undercover investigations. He was the undercover producer for the celebrated BBC documentary exposing the abuse of people with learning disabilities at Winterbourne View private hospital in 2011.

A balanced lifestyle enhances health, happiness and wellbeing. With practical techniques and strategies, this book explores how this balance can be found and how stress and anxiety, which are linked to being overworked and over busy, may be alleviated.

It begins by examining the state of work-life imbalance in our everyday lives and discussing real life examples from a group of professionals working in health and social care. Their stories and experiences illustrate the problems caused by our modern, work-driven society and resonate with how many of us are living today. The author then provides practical tools and techniques to address this overwork culture and achieve a more balanced lifestyle. These simple, yet effective, strategies can be implemented quickly in everyday life.

“

In this brilliantly written book, Dr Clouston presents a thoughtprovoking reconceptualization of the notion of occupational balance. She argues that living a balanced life means resisting the neoliberal capitalistic pressure to value “doing” over other aspects of life, and instead pursuing personally meaningful occupations that enable “doing, being, becoming, and belonging”. This is a must-read textbook for anyone who is interested in ideas about meaningful living through focused engagement in valued occupations.

NEW CRITICAL SUPERVISION FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES

NEW CHALLENGES IN PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION

A Social Model to Promote Learning and Value-Based Practice CAROLYN NOBLE, MEL GRAY & LOU JOHNSTON APR 2016 • 240pp • £22.99 9781849055895 - eBook-9781784500436

Practitioners in the helping professions today operate in challenging settings where budgets have been cut dramatically, and progression and success are too often defined primarily by key performance indicators and strategic outcomes. This book introduces a critical model for supervision which addresses not only the human relationships and interactions involved in work, but also the financial, political and managerial environment in which the work is carried out.

It identifies how reflective practice alone is not enough to bring about transformational change, and outlines how practitioners can learn in and through supervision, drawing on ideas from critical pedagogy and organisational learning. Practice examples are included to demonstrate the use of this approach within contemporary human service environments.

“

A book we have been waiting for and will be a popular addition to the library of supervisors, educators, and supervision researchers and scholars. This book explores critical perspectives on the role of supervision in human services in the global, organisational and professional domains.

Noble, Gray and Johnston deftly apply the critical pedagogies of transformational learning and critical reflection in an enriching exploration of how excellent supervision can promote social justice.

Challenges in Professional Supervision draws on the latest research and theory to explore issues, trends and developments in supervision work.

The provision of excellent supervision is strongly linked to improved performance and staff retention. In this book, supervision is examined across a broad range of settings, addressing concerns common to a range of professions, including health, social work and counselling. Issues such as supervising ethically, practitioner wellbeing and managing the process are all explored. There are also chapters on group supervision, supervision of managers and how to have difficult conversations.

“

This book is written by the two people who know most about professional supervision: Liz Beddoe and Allyson Davys. What is most exciting is the critical analysis that they bring; they really understand the complexities in practice today, and in exploring the challenges in supervision, they challenge us to raise our game, so that there are better outcomes for those who use our services.

MAR 2016 • 240pp • £22.99 9781785920202 - eBook-9781784502669

Assessment and Intervention with Mothers and Partners Following Child Sexual Abuse provides child protection professionals with the guidance they need to make the right decisions in cases of suspected or proven sexual abuse and ensure the best outcome for the child.

Assessments and interventions used for other forms of abuse, such as physical abuse or neglect, elicit a great deal of information, but do not fully address the issues and needs in relation to child sexual abuse. This book lays out a new model for understanding, assessing and working with mothers of sexually abused children or partners of known or suspected sexual offenders - a model which combines offender knowledge with understanding of mothers and partners. It is structured around the following central critical questions: • Did she know it was happening?

• Is she able to protect the child?

• What do I need to do to ensure that the child is safe?

Combining research and empirical evidence with case studies, exercises and practical guidance, this book is essential reading for child protection professionals working with children and families.

Making judgments about a child’s welfare without having the opportunity to gather all of the relevant information, and with both the judiciary and practitioners operating a remote control approach with the most complex of families can be very difficult.

The book acknowledges the constraints, such as not having the time to build trust and communication and having to act under considerable pressure, and focuses on the key issues which commonly present as challenges for practice.

Packed with activities and advice on how to use playfulness to open up lines of communication with vulnerable children.

Through the use of numerous engaging games and activities developed over 20 years of working with abused and neglected children, this book shows how these lines of communication can be opened up through effective engagement with the child’s world.

There has been a lot of rhetoric in recent years about reclaiming direct work with children and their families against a backdrop of bureaucracy, business processes and a lack of emphasis or focus in training or education.

The authors utilise their extensive experience to provide workers with an informed, practical roadmap for engaging with family groups to enhance outcomes for all children and their families. This practical book provides a plethora of ideas and materials to guide people through this and in so doing provide a resource that encourages us to achieve the reality of direct work rather than accept the continued rhetoric. It will be widely used by ever-busy frontline workers wanting to re-focus their practice.

What are the key ingredients for long lasting foster care placements? In this study the lives and routines of 10 foster families, considered to be providers of effective and lasting care are examined. Featuring original research, the type of care that these families provide and the reason for their success is analysed.

Exploring the journey from care to adulthood this book provides a comprehensive review of relevant research and looks at how young people leaving care might be best supported.

The journey to adulthood is a big step for all young people. However, for young people leaving care it may be far more difficult, coping with major changes in their lives and at a younger age, especially if they lack preparation and support.

Young People Leaving Care explores the journey from care to adulthood through the main challenges these young people face: in being in settled accommodation, in fulfilling their potential in education, employment or training, and in achieving and maintaining good health and a positive sense of wellbeing. For each of these pathways, the book provides a comprehensive review of relevant research, how young people might be best supported, and how the services they receive have the potential to increase resilience and boost their chances of enjoying a fulfilled life as a young adult.

This is an essential book for all those who work with young people from care, including social workers, personal advisers, counsellors, teachers, policy makers, researchers and students in the field of child welfare.

NEW HEALING CHILD TRAUMA THROUGH RESTORATIVE PARENTING

A Model for Supporting Children and Young People DR CHRIS ROBINSON & TERRY PHILPOT FOREWORD BY ANDREW CONSTABLE & KAREN & MITCHELL-MELLOR JUN 2016 • 144pp • £16.99 9781849056991 - eBook-9781784502157

How can we help heal children who have been abused or neglected?

Healing Child Trauma Through Restorative Parenting details how children can be helped to recover with the use of Restorative Parenting, an innovative model informed by psychological and neurological understanding of trauma and its effects. It explains the critical role that people, relationships and the environment play in a child’s recovery. It shows what constitutes a therapeutic environment, whereby a child experiences therapy not as oneto-one sessions but as a lived experience. The authors show how other components of the model - building therapeutic relationships, promoting positive education and encouraging clinically informed life style choices - are intimately linked, each critical to the re-parenting which the child undergoes.

This book will be welcomed by professionals working with children, including those in residential, health and foster care, psychology, education and health, as well as those commissioning services. The models, concepts and practices are transferable to public, private and charitable agencies.

Across Europe young people in public care are around five times less likely to attend tertiary education than those who have not been in care. This book provides a comprehensive account of why this shocking discrepancy exists and outlines ways to address the imbalance.

Drawing extensively on new original research, the book examines the participation of young people in care in further and higher education. It provides a historical and legislative overview of the topic and in-depth national case studies look at the situation in England compared with Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Hungary. The authors set out clearly what we can learn from these comparisons and how to create more equal opportunities for children and young people in care today.

This important book will be essential reading for those dedicated to removing barriers to accessing to further and higher education, including FE and HE lecturers, student support staff, social workers, policymakers and researchers working across fields of education, sociology, psychology, social work and social policy.

“

This excellent and timely book starts from the indisputable premise that the educational experiences and progress of young people in public care have been neglected and little is known about this group of often severely disadvantaged young people. It studies official policies and practices and the experiences of young people themselves and demonstrates that many of the young people leaving care, despite their often negative school and family experiences, have high hopes and expectations of their futures, many aiming for higher education.

Featuring contributions from distinguished international contributors, it critically examines current research and innovative practice and addresses the key questions: how does it work, what are its critical “active ingredients” and does it represent value for money? The book covers a broad spectrum of established and emerging approaches pioneered around with world, with contributors from the USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Spain, Australia, Israel and the UK offering a mix of practice and research exemplars. The book also looks at the research relating to critical issues for child welfare service providers: the best time to refer children to residential care, how children can be helped to make the transition into care, the characteristics of children entering and exiting care, strategies for engaging families as partners, how the substantial cost of providing intensive is best measured against outcomes, and what research and development challenges will allow therapeutic residential care to be rigorously compared with its evidence-based community-centered alternatives. Importantly, the volume also outlines how to set up and implement intensive child welfare services, considering how transferable they are, how to measure success and value for money, and the training protocols and staffing needed to ensure that a programme is effective.

This comprehensive volume will enable child welfare professionals, researchers and policymakers to develop a refined understanding of the potential of therapeutic residential care, and to identify the highest and best uses of this intensive and specialized intervention.

This book provides professionals with the knowledge and advice they need to help adoptive families build positive relationships and help children heal.

Assessing prospective adoptive and foster parents is an extremely complex task, and one that happens within a pressurised time frame.

Currently, assessments draw substantially on interviews with prospective adopters and foster carers.

Too often, they generate a lot of information but lack meaningful analysis and understanding of parenting capacity. Children with histories of trauma, loss and hurt need to join families in which parents exhibit the ability to be good at relationships, able to manage their own stress and bond with the child in their care. In this book, leading experts including Dan Hughes, Jonathan Baylin, Kim Golding and Julie Selwyn combine the latest findings from neuroscience with research on what makes good assessments.

Together, they provide guidance and recommend tools for making thorough, analytical and effective assessments which will ensure the best possible chance of placement success.

Positive and practical, this guide is designed to offer a route to recovery from grief and loss after adoption or long-term foster care.

Children growing up in adoptive families or foster care often have complicated feelings about the loss of their birth parents - feelings which become all the more complex as they gain independence and become young adults, and which can endure throughout their lives. Common life events such as entering new relationships, building a family or losing a loved one can give rise to difficult questions about their own childhood and identity. In this book, Renée Wolfs provides an accessible explanation of the feelings of loss and grief commonly experienced by adults who grew up in adoptive families or foster care, and how debilitating they can be.

This book is essential reading for older teens and adults who need help in addressing feelings of grief and loss, as well as those who support them.

Sophie Ashton shares tips and strategies which have worked for her and her family.

Sophie Ashton has added to the rich literature by adopters for adopters. We know at Adoption UK how valuable the advice of experienced adopters is. Adoption transforms children’s lives because adopters provide parenting that goes beyond what most parents have to deal with.

Sophie’s contribution is a valuable one and I can fully recommend this book.

This book will help your child to be more in tune with themselves and their bodies and feel more comfortable in their environment.

Sensory integration theory has emphasised to me that my child doesn’t just do things to annoy - there is a missing or underdeveloped part of her from early childhood that needs to be expanded. There is always a reason why she acts in a particular way.

When Sally Donovan asked me to read the draft of her second book I was both delighted and anxious.

Delighted because I’ve come to know Sally - first through Twitter, then personally - and I have a high regard for her ability to tell it how it is, to support others and to write so engagingly. Anxious because I loved her first book , No Matter What, so much. When she told me that her second book was a guide to parenting adopted children I must admit to thinking that this had been done before by so many others and that it wouldn’t come close to the power of her first book.

I needn’t have worried. The Unofficial Guide to Parenting Adopted Children is brilliant; it’s Sally at her best and a must-read for all those involved in adopting children from care. Sally takes us through the reality of modern day adoptive parenting in a frank, hard hitting and ultimately uplifting way.

She pulls no punches, but what is so good about this book is the hope that it offers. Sally takes us in to her world, and provides the reader in a very matter-of-fact way sound advice from her own experience and research into therapeutic parenting. Any adopter reading this will know that they are not alone, that they can forgive themselves for not being the perfect “elite” parent, and that with love, knowledge, support and determination very damaged young lives can be transformed.

Some may worry that this ‘warts and all’ description of 21st Century adoption will put others off from adopting. I don’t. Because Sally shows us that it is so worthwhile; it’s probably the most impactful and all-consuming voluntary effort than anyone ever makes in our society. The risk to successful adoptions is the lack of support for adoptive families, not supportive books like this.

An uplifting true story of an ordinary couple who build an extraordinary family, No Matter What describes how Sally and Rob Donovan embark upon a journey to adopt following a diagnosis of infertility.

Sally Donovan brings to life with characteristic wit and honesty the difficulties of living with infertility, their decision to adopt and the bewildering process involved. Finally matched with young siblings Jaymey and Harlee, Sally and Rob’s joy turns to shock as they discover disturbing details of their children’s past and realise that they must do everything it takes to heal their children.

By turns tragic, inspiring and hilarious, Sally and Rob’s story offers a rare insight into the world of adoptive parents and just what it takes to bring love to the lives of traumatised children.

This fully updated third edition of Learning Through Child Observation is a handbook for professionals working in, or students preparing to work in, children’s services.

This accessible text examines the value of observation, its use in assessment and the practical aspects and methods of observational study. This new edition reflects updates to policy and practice and further develops the critical perspective on contemporary thinking about childhood and observational methods. This edition has also expanded its focus to include observation of primary-aged children.

Drawing on her extensive practical experience, Liz Williams provides a highly accessible and muchneeded guide to promoting positive behaviour in early years settings.

In this book, she explains why children may act in the way that they do and how behaviour should be understood differently in children of different ages. She demonstrates that social and emotional capacities differ greatly in these crucial development years and how this impacts on the support needed at each stage. The book considers a host of factors influencing positive behaviour, such as environments and the importance of planning, and looks beyond the child to show the vital role that staff and parents have in promoting appropriate behaviour.

It explains the significance of positive attachments in a child’s early years, and equips practitioners with skills and techniques to help encourage bonding. It will be of particular interest to those working with parents needing additional support such as vulnerable and adoptive or foster families. The resource is accompanied by online materials - songs to sing along with, and film clips of signing to help parents and carers improve communication.

A go-to guide for early years professionals, this book will help you to enhance your leadership skills.

How to Be a Great Leader in Early Years enables you to reflect on your approach to leadership. In doing so it allows you to identify the qualities that make you a good leader and to think about ways to improve.

Drawing on insights gained from founding her own award-winning childcare service, Jennie Johnson offers a range of practical strategies to help you become a better leader, inspire others and maintain a first-rate service.

“

While pitched at those working with small children, the messages are core to a well-led business. Not least the advice that Jennie gives to “know your stuff”, “be well read” and “be thirsty for knowledge”. Jennie continually reminds the reader that the point of good leadership is to ensure that everything works together to ensure children have a happy fulfilled and fun experience learning. Her book is steeped in good examples which means it can be read in one sitting or dipped into as needed. It would be a very good tool to provoke debate and reflection at a staff meeting or training session.

ADOPTED LIKE ME

My Book of Adopted Heroes Some of the many 5 star reviews on AMAZON:

“

This is a lovely gem of a book for all children who ever felt as though they couldn’t do life as well as everyone else, however hard they tried, and all of their parents and teachers. The writing is lively and witty enough to make reading it to a youngster a pleasure not a chore, although, with its pacey, short chapters and brilliant illustrations, it should appeal to even the most reluctant reader. I bought this copy to give to a little ‘Billy’ I know and I’m sure he will love it. It even has recipes in it!

“

Billy Bramble is a must-read book. It is fabulously funny and the lighthearted way that it draws you in from page one must be commended.

The layout and illustrations are jolly engaging and everybody needs a pet chicken called Facebook! Whilst touching on a tricky subject (who would EVER want to be 11 again) it is written with such humour and empathy that I challenge anyone not to relate to Billy’s life in some way. A brilliant book, I whole heartedly recommend it.

M IS FOR AUTISM

The Students of Limpsfield Grange School & Vicky Martin FOREWORD BY ROBERT PRITCHETT JUL 2015 • 96pp • £8.99 9781849056847 - eBook-9781784501983

M. That’s what I’d like you to call me please. I’ll tell you why later.

Welcome to M’s world. It’s tipsy-turvy, sweet and sour, and the beast of anxiety lurks outside classrooms ready to pounce. M just wants to be like other teenagers her age who always know what to say and what to do. So why does it feel like she lives on a different plane of existence to everyone else.

Written by the students of Limpsfield Grange, a school for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder with communication and interaction difficulties, M is for Autism draws on real life experiences to create a heartfelt and humorous novel that captures the highs and lows of being different in a world of normal.

LIMPSFIELD GRANGE STUDENTS, a residential school for girls with communication and interaction difficulties including Autism Spectrum Disorder, wrote and illustrated this book during three months of drama and creative writing workshops. The true life experiences of the girls were developed into M’s story by Vicky Martin, the creative writing tutor who ran the workshops. She has previously worked on creative writing projects for the Royal Opera House’s Education Department, and many theatres, arts centres and charities in the UK.

“

The Limpsfield girls certainly found their voice and it has all the urgency, immediacy and sheer vibrancy of teenage life... I hope that M’s journey will help girls with autism making that same journey through their early teen years to find themselves and believe in themselves as well as help others understand and believe in them.

‘Feelings are something we have, not something we are.’

Revealing the complexity of emotions such as happiness, anger, fear, and jealousy, and how these are based on our perception of other people, Ilse Sand offers her professional wisdom on the psychology of feelings. Establishing that emotions are not always as appropriate as they first appear to be, the book encourages you to take a closer look at why you feeling certain things, and how you can change how you feel. Especially written for highly sensitive people, guidance is included on how to identify the vulnerable feelings that often underlie our more volatile emotional states, and practical activities are suggested to help to embrace or reject sadness, delay impulsive actions, and allow yourself to be happy. Drawing on reallife examples throughout, the book offers you the means to improve your understanding of not only your own emotions and emotional actions, but those of others. The book will be immensely useful not only to people who feel things strongly, but to those who have trouble understanding or interpreting emotions and how to respond to the feelings they provoke.

PAPERBACK OUT SOON CREATIVE, SUCCESSFUL, DYSLEXIC 23 High Achievers Share Their Stories EDITED BY MARGARET ROOKE FOREWORD BY MOLLIE KING SEP 2015 • 240pp • £16.99 9781849056533 - eBook-9781784501631

23 very well-known people from the arts, sport, and business worlds talk about how dyslexia affected their childhood, how they were able to overcome the challenges and use the special strengths of dyslexia to achieve great success in adulthood. Darcey Bussell CBE, Eddie Izzard, Sir Richard Branson, Meg Mathews, Zoe Wanamaker CBE, Richard Rogers, Benjamin Zephaniah, Steven Naismith, Lynda La Plante CBE, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Sophie Conran and others share their stories, and their advice.

All reveal the enormous difficulties they faced, the strength required to overcome them, the crucial importance of adult support, and how `the different way the brain is wired’ in dyslexia has enabled them to see something different in the world and to use their creativity in an exceptional way. They talk about `thinking sideways’, and the ability to look at a bigger picture, the often strong visual strength, and the ability to listen, and to grasp simplicity where other people see only complexity.

They also talk about how dyslexia continues to challenge them, and the ways they have found to work around this.

An introduction, and final section that includes practical information about dyslexia, are written with the support of Dyslexia Action, and a percentage of profit from the book is donated to Dyslexia Action.

Essential for parents, teachers and education professionals working with a child with numeracy difficulties.

“

What a great book! Divided into two clear sections, the first half gives a very accessible and useful overview and explanation of a range of difficulties impacting on numeracy. The second half of the book then focuses on ‘how to teach it’ in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step layout using verbal, visual, and multisensory strategies useful for so many learners.

-Jane Trapmore, Cornwall Dyslexia Service

I would recommend this to people diagnosed with dyslexia and their families. One invaluable message is that perseverance and determination can help people achieve. Another is that talents in the dyslexia profile may be underrated at school but are of tremendous importance to society afterwards. One interesting recurring theme was the importance of parents and the difference they could make in helping their children believe in themselves; more than one said “that costs nothing”.

NEW THE BOY FROM HELL

Life with a Child with ADHD ALISON M. THOMPSON FOREWORD BY RORY BREMNER FEB 2016 • 184pp • £9.99 9781785920158 - eBook-9781784502577

“Saturday 14th August 2001: Today has been a horrible, hateful day. Daniel has pushed me to my absolute wits’ end. Sometimes it really does feel like he is the original child from hell.”

For Alison, life with her son Daniel sometimes seemed like an endless torrent of disobedience, backchat, rudeness, name-calling and aggression. Upon starting school, where his aggression and lack of concentration concerned teachers, Daniel was given a vague diagnosis of borderline Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which was later changed to ADHD with secondary Oppositional Defiant Disorder and autistic traits. In this unapologetically honest account of the first 18 years of Daniel’s life, Alison exposes her own worries, doubts, and exceptional courage at every pivotal turn in Daniel’s life. Interspersing the narrative with tips and advice on what she has found useful - or not - in bringing up Daniel, Alison also provides encouraging guidance for teachers and fellow parents.

Knowledge and understanding of PDA is still at an early stage, but there are exciting developments happening in diagnostic understanding, greater awareness of successful educational approaches and the perspective that is now being gained from further research...Jane Sherwin’s book, the account of the mother of Mollie, a ten-year-old girl with PDA, will add to that knowledge by highlighting the perspective of a parent, as well as giving fascinating glimpses into how the world seems from Mollie’s point of view.
