Protecting Children: Challenges and Change

by John Bates

Child protection is a complex and demanding area of practice which is constantly evolving, with new challenges appearing with every change that occurs. This important book presents a set of readings produced by a range of academics and practitioners, each with a significant contribution to make to our understanding of the challenges and change that characterize contemporary practice. The book is divided into three parts. The first part addresses a number of key issues which are having an important impact on child protection services. The second part is concerned with 'children who hurt' - children who have not only experienced abuse, but who also go on to abuse others. The final part concerns itself with issues of staffing - supporting staff in the difficult changes they face.
