Acknowledgements

Mary Smith

Firstly I would like to thank all of the children and families I have been involved with during my career. They have inspired me to improve my own practice and to develop the practice of the professionals that I work with. I have been very privileged in my career to work with great colleagues in a very forward-thinking local authority who have supported me to develop my knowledge and skills. My authority funded me to carry out a Doctorate in Education at the University of Edinburgh and this led me to teach on the BA Childhood Practice Degree. This book has been inspired by that experience and the students whose thirst for knowledge led them to challenge our ideas in ways that gave us new insights. I would like to thank John Davis for all his support and encouragement over the years which led me to achieve things I would never have thought possible and I would like to thank Jude Bowen and her colleagues at Sage for their support and encouragement with this book. Finally and as always, my love and thanks go to my long-suffering family who have supported me through the years of study and who will never believe me when I say never again because who knows where the journey goes now?

John M. Davis

I would like to thank once again Jude Bowen and her colleagues not just for their help with this book but also for their support with two previous books Research with Children and Young People and Integrated Childrens Services. It has indeed been a privilege to have had such a generous opportunity to put down my/our ideas in these books. I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewer who gave us extremely valuable feedback on the earlier version of this book. The book involves the idea that interactive and collective processes enable innovation and creativity. Such creative collaboration with my friend Mary Smith has led to this book which is built on many hours of discussions, joint teaching and shared analysis of our experiences in children and family services. There have been difficult times along the way but our sense of humour and a shared willingness to go that extra yard has got us through to the completion of this text. It is my hope that this text does justice to the people who have influenced it and in particular the children, families, students, colleagues and friends who gave us many ideas. I would finally also like to thank my family and friends who have given me so much support while we have been writing this book.
