OverviewChildren have the right to be safe in our world and we all have a responsibility to ensure this happens. Midwives play a key role in enhancing relationships between a child and its parents for future well being. The book explores how the pressures inherent in the transition to parenting, and individual and social circumstances may make it difficult for mothers to respond sensitively to their babies' needs. Midwives are encouraged to use their skills of observation and analysis to recognise and provide appropriate emotional, educational and practical support to assist vulnerable women to bond with their baby and the baby in turn forming a secure attachment with it's mother. Midwives are also in a unique position to recognise potential or actual child abuse and are required to take such action as is necessary to safeguard the child from harm. This book provides midwives with confidence to undertake this role effectively. · Accessible easy to read style for busy working midwives · A sensitive approach to the subject of child protection · Step by step guidance through child protection procedures · Non judgemental approach considering both the needs of the child and the plight of the parent · Case histories link theory to practice Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jenny Fraser , Mary NolanPublisher: Elsevier Health Sciences Imprint: Books for Midwives Edition: 2nd edition Dimensions: Width: 13.30cm , Height: 0.60cm , Length: 21.00cm Weight: 0.250kg ISBN: 9780750653527ISBN 10: 0750653523 Pages: 176 Publication Date: 14 October 2003 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Replaced By: 9781898507543 Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
