Description
Drawing on research, this book provides a critique of contemporary child protection research, policy and practice. In particular, it challenges current attempts to reorder priorities and reconstruct the balance between family support and child protection. In the process, it provides an insight into the nature of child protection work and the way practitioners respond to the inherent tensions and difficulties involved.
