Its a truly amazing story telling about the work of social workers and the children in their case loads. It really gives a good insight into social workers, all about behind the scenes of their work. Its truly amazing how many agencies are involved with the work of a child. It tells of the pit falls and highlights involved in a social worker life.

This is an inspiring tale in spite of some the depressing and unresolved lives of some of the children. One's heart truly goes out to the neglected and abused children everywhere. It must be agonizing for social workers to face the same problems over and over again.
I am sure the author spared her readers of some of the awful details.

I've never read such a book before. I am so glad the author wrote it because it feels like an honest look into the work of child protective services. I know I could never do this job but I'm glad to get a tiny insight into their everyday life.

I have read many stories about carers of children. This book tells the stories of the difficulties of evaluating the families and the decisions evolved in placing children into care

The neglect and cruelty directed at children is heartbreaking. The title "All in a Day's Work: One Woman's Story from the Front Line of Child Protection" doesn't prepare one for the horror some children suffer. Becky Hope writes with optimism, humour even, and there are a few "happy endings" alng the way, but this book is not for the soft hearted and sensitive amoung us. I felt battered by the end of it.
