First sentence: A major debate has recently emerged in the United Kingdom about how policies and practices in relation to child protection integrate with and are supported by policies and practices that are concerned with family support and child welfare more generally.
Description: Child Protection and Family Support brings together a range of distinguished researchers and commentators to analyse the nature of the issue and possible ways forward. It draws on recent research, case studies and examples from the UK and abroad. This will be an invaluable text for students of social work, social policy and applied social studies; and for policy-makers, managers and practitioners in social work and child welfare agencies.
