Review Quotes:
this book is well structured and the use of case scenarios, exercises and key points is helpful to encourage readers to reflect on current practice and to consider how they would implement the suggestions to improve outcomes for children and young people. There are references at the end of each chapter should the reader wish to explore
topics in greater depth. I would recommend this book to students and practitioners working in health, social care, education, the police service and the voluntary sector.--Child Abuse Review
