This book offers a refreshingly candid account of both social work practice and research. Drawing upon the work of Irving Goffman, the author sets out to understand how UK child protection practice has been impacted and shaped cultures of blame, which have enveloped the profession in recent years. ... the fact this book is written in such an accessible way makes it appropriate for those who wish to better understand child protection or to think about their own practice. (Helen Woods, Journal of Social Work Practice, July, 2018)
