- Summary:
- The Handbook for Child Protection Protection Practice presents a comprehensive and critical portrait of the phenomenon of neglect.

- Organized in question and answer format, topics covered include: engaging with the client; initial assessments for factors such as neglect and physical and sexual abuse; how to assess the family; interventions with various different emphases; and safeguarding the social workers well-being: legally, physically and mentally.
