Ten Top Tips is a series that sets out to tackle fundamental issues in relation to fostering and adoption in a quick reference format. While social workers appear to be the intended readership, this book is also accessible to carers and adoptive parents.
The pocket-sized volume provides a useful introduction to a complex subject, including sections not only on identification of neglect, but on stages in the "care career" of the child from that point onwards. In addition, there are summary points with further reading and resources.
The section on recognition of unmet needs in a child covers most aspects of neglect and refers to children from pre-birth to adolescence as well as to children with disabilities. There is a substantial section on assessment with descriptions of a number of useful tools. The sections on how to prevent the neglect of children in public care and on preparing for legal action are thought-provoking.
