Making Child Protection Work

Making Child Protection Work offers an in-depth exploration of child protection work, shedding light on a field that, despite its significant public profile, is not widely understood. Through ethnographic and scholarly insights, this textbook examines how social workers effectively build and maintain relationships with children and families.

Reimagining child protection practice, it provides novel theoretical and practical perspectives on what constitutes 'good enough care.' By doing so, it aims to enhance the understanding and application of child protection methodologies among professionals in the field.
