Principles of Child Protection

Sinopse

"This book offers a detailed analysis of the issues and challenges in the theory and practice of child protection. It is based on the author's research carried out in the United Kingdom and Australia and arises out of a recognised need to enhance cooperation among the major agencies involved in children's welfare today. Governments across the world are radically reviewing policy in the child welfare field. In the midst of these new initiatives it is the managers and practitioners who must understand the context of change in order to do their work effectively." "Principles of Child Protection is important reading for child protection practitioners, managers, policy makers and students on qualifying and post-qualifying courses in social work, social policy, sociology and child protection."--BOOK JACKET.
