  Many churches now have child protection policies, and yet, despite growing awareness, there is still a great need for greater understanding of abuse of all kinds. An essential read for all those who have experienced abuse themselves, pastors and youth workers, this guide explains the effect of all kinds of abuse on the victim, abusers and the wider community. It goes on to give guidelines for good leadership and pastoral care to prevent abuse and to support survivors. Separate chapters deal with working with offenders.
