A very useful and infromative text, with useful activities to incorporate into and stimulate discussion.
Accessible and easy to use for specific reference points and also to reflect on each chapter as a clear area of concern. Good cross-referencing to other well-established texts, alongside current and thought-provoking examples from the practice context
I found this book a useful addition to safeguarding children education programmes. I particulary liked the concept of 'poverty and social exclusion' and also the chapter on domestic abuse and its' effects on children. The use of exercises based on practice is a really good addition to teaching this difficult area
A highly useful introductory text on this important area of social work practice.
An excellent introduction to Child Protection. Case studies provide valuable insight into a range of Safeguarding issues. All Child Branch Nursing Students should read this book.
This offers commentary on a lot of knowledge that would be of interest to practitioners.
I found this book very interesting and would recomend this for a Level 3 student participating on a Child Protection related course.
This book gives a good background to current policy and practice in safeguarding. It is written at the appropriate level for students and gives anumber of exercises for students to complete.
