Child Protection Handbook

This comprehensive sourcebook and reference covers a wide range of practical, theoretical, and legal issues which all health and social work professionals must know and understand to work in child protection. It provides a practical and evidence-based account of key, contemporary developments in child protection practice in the UK, particularly reflecting the most recent Government guidelines and proposals. With media focus so often on the failures of care, this book is intended to provide the care team with the underpinning and practical knowledge to carry out their work with confidence.
