Reviews
At a time when the public discourse is often seeking black and white answers to high profile child protection failings this volume provides policy makers and practitioners with a measured and reflective analysis that is much needed. ---Enver Solomon, Director of Evidence and Impact, National Children's Bureau. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding or influencing the future of child protection in England. Our services and professional ethos approach yet another crossroad, defined not least by individual tragedies more so than the unspoken successes. This collection of essays offers cool thought and consideration into a heated and emotive landscape. ---John Coughlan, Director of Children's Services, Hampshire County Council. Keeping the ship afloat on the turbulent tides of multi-agency child safeguarding has never been more challenging. This publication creates a precious space in which we can reflect on the impact of the external influences and cultural shifts, which have the potential to both enable and disable our best efforts to respond to the recommendations of the Munro review. ---Sue Woolmoore, independent child protection specialist; A valuable insight into the operation of the child protection system and how services for our most vulnerable children can be improved. Journal of Children and Poverty; A nourishing and recommended read for busy people. Research, Policy and Planning
