| Summary: Uses practical examples to illustrate how the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), together with the detailed advice and guidance contained in the UNCRC general comments numbers 5, 7 and 12, provides the best framework for developing effective social work relationships with young children. Applies the UNCRC to inquiry and serious case review findings and from that develops practice principles. Also discusses findings of the Munro Review (2011) regarding the relationship between social workers and children. Concludes that despite many legislative, policy and practice changes, further practice improvements at ground level are required. |
