Students currently studying a module in safeguarding found this very useful. The text is not overly filled with jargon, making it easy to understand. Many students cited this within their assignments. As a lecturer i found this text very useful there are many activities that encourage learners to reflect, enabling them to develop their knowledge on safeguarding but also develop their reflective practice.
An interesting text however some errors noted re spelling in early part of work. A useful source of information however.
Clear and contemporary information that is relevant for all public health nurses and health visitors.
Excellent overview of underpinning principles and their relationship to current best practice.

It is particularly welcome to see Scottish policy and practice threaded throughout the book as many similar textbooks tend to focus on policy and practice in England. However, it is important to point out that there have been some important legislative changes within Scotland since the book was published which will impact on practice.
I really like this book, so useful and relevant not just to nurses but all healthcare professionals.

I am very impressed with this text. The way it is presented enables practitioners and students to grasp the basics whilst appreciating the complexities of safeguarding children.
