Reviews

The book is clear, sensibly laid out and effort is made to avoid overly complex or `lawyerly' language...I applaud the aim of offering this text to the widest possible audience. I think it would be difficult to improve upon the structure and the topics of this text. -- Sarah Phillimore, barrister at St John's Chambers, Bristol and site administrator of Child Protection Resource * ICLR *

The text is friendly to the eye; paragraphs are sequentially-enumerated, ensuring that any cross referencing isn't tedious; and salient information is highlighted. There are also several informative case studies to focus attention on important topics or dilemmas. * Pulse Today *
