The revised edition of this book comes at an important time for social workers...Social workers need courage and integrity to fight for social justice for children and to do so they need to be informed by sound evidence as this book provides.
I used this text for an MA cohort who have not worked in the field of child protection social work previously. The text is informative and easy to follow. The topics within the text relate to the different aspects of teaching for my module, allowing me to link the teaching to the essential text.
