About this title

Synopsis

The new edition of this popular handbook gives an authoritative, informative and accessible account of key areas of child protection practice. Covering research, policy and practice it is relevant to all professionals working in child care.

This practical and evidence-based text is divided into three sections for clarity: understanding, managing, and intervening and training issues in child protection. It has been revised to incorporate recent changes and developments in the field including new material on:

institutional abuse

gender issues

policy guidance for assessment and working together

training for professionals in child protection

developments in legislation

No other book on child protection offers such comprehensive coverage of policy and practice. It provides research findings in all areas of child abuse, latest policies and indications of good practice, plus specialist chapters for different professionals. Chapters have been contributed by known experts in the field, both distinguished academics and practitioners. By combining the latest factual information with sophisticated analysis, it is the ideal course text for child protection programmes as well as meeting the needs of more experienced practitioners, academics and trainers.

Practical - Examines the issues grounded in reality giving the reader confidence in practice

Comprehensive - Covers a broad review of what constitutes child abuse and characteristics of the abused and the abusers

Authoritative - Contributors are senior professionals known nationally and internationally for their specific expertise in this area

Research based - Provides a through guide to what research and policy initiatives can give to the practice of the reader

Thoroughly revised and updated

Reflects the latest UK government initiatives and legal steps. Much has changed since 1995!

The current edition could only reflect partially the 1995 report "Messages from Research", whereas contributors have all now had several years to explore and debate the findings and reflect these in the chapters.

Looks more at preventative family support and not simply as narrowly as before at child protection.

The current edition looks only very briefly at institutionalized abuse, whereas this edition much more fully with an area of concern that has grown considerably over the last five years.

Much more polished and coherent vignettes of good practice. More case material generally

Includes issues of foster care.

Improved content on implications for future practice.
