Effective Child Protection

by Eileen Munro - £29.99  Sage Publications (2008)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781412946957 | ISBN 10: 1412946956

This new edition is essential reading for anyone concerned with improving child protection practice. Building on the strengths of the first edition, it provides a deeper understanding of how practice judgements and decisions can be improved in child protection work.
 
Updates include:

  • an account of how intuition, emotion, and analytic thinking are combined in practice
  • an analysis of how the nature of the task determines what combination is needed
  • an updated chapter on how we can detect errors
  • new material on how organisations can promote good reasoning skills
  • a simpler way to understand risk assessment instruments.
Illustrated with detailed case studies throughout, it will be invaluable reading for students, researchers and practitioners in all areas of child protection, including social work, education, health and policing.
"The book makes the fully justified claim [that] it will be essential reading for professionals undergoing qualifying and post-qualifying training. It is to be hoped that it will enjoy an even wider readership."
