Author Information

Rebecca Andrews graduated from Goldsmiths College, London many moons ago, though she is keen to stress that she is still on the right side of forty. As a police officer she divided her service between frontline duties and the Child Protection Unit and Paedophile Unit. Without a doubt, she learnt as much about child protection from uniformed duties as from the Units, not to mention the steep learning curve of co-ordinating child protection at church, and being Mum to her two daughters. She is married to a serving officer of higher rank than she is � not that it gets him very far behind their front door � and both she and her husband are committed Christians. Rebecca has authored the book Policing Innocence: Is your child really Safe?
