Synopsis

My journey started with a tragedy, which led me to study youth suicide and the impact this has on young people and their families. I was shocked to discover how many young people fell through the cracks of our broken mental health system. Furthermore, young people were also falling through the cracks of many systems, including Child Protection.

If you think you know what Child Protection is all about, think again. This is a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when the public is not watching or listening.

This novel will highlight the difficulties and sometimes dangers workers face. Furthermore, it will shine a spotlight on the bullying that has been prominent within Child Protection for a long time and on Management, which has chosen to ignore it.

My story will also call attention to drug use within Child Protection. As well as Management's lack of support for workers and why the same people who helped me advance my career were the same people who tried to take me down.

This book also looks at the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre cases I have worked on during my career as a Senior Child Protection Worker.

If you have been a client or are interested in a career in Child Protection, or just want a book you cannot put down, then this novel is for you.
