It deserves—it needs—to have influence and impact. Social work with children and families has in so many ways lost its way. This book helps us all to reflect and to re-route for the future."" The British Journal of Social Work ""This is an excellent book that relates well to practice and addresses contemporary issues of risk, inequality, shame and neoliberalism. It also addresses the relational and strengths-based turn in a sophisticated way."" Jameel Hadi, University of Salford “Protecting Children provides an incisive critique of the current system and compelling case examples of the mistreatment of families. The book documents and champions alternative approaches so that families’ lived experience and perspective frame the discussion and interventions. The book is a useful tool for students, practitioners and policy pros.” David Tobis, Maestral International" This insightful and timely contribution to thinking about how we 'do' child protection invites us toward a new 'social model' approach to keeping children safe within families and communities.
