Media Reviews
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. Joe Smeeton, Director of Social Work Education, University of Salford
Written with a combination of sharp analysis, thorough research and compassion for children, their families and professionals, this book will take you on a revealing tour to the deep roots of our society's care of its most vulnerable citizens. Professor Michal Krumer-Nevo, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
If you have felt the social justice footprint has been disappearing in the sand of child protection in recent years, this is the book you have been waiting for. In a refreshing challenge to the growing orthodoxy of pathologised casework the authors firmly root child welfare in the social inequalities that shape family life and urge practitioners to rediscover community development and social activism as appropriate responses to child welfare concerns. Sean Holland, Chief Social Worker, Northern Ireland
