Recent government initiatives and developments in professional
practice have been designed to help families in difficulty
effectively, in order to prevent child harm. This book examines
whether these changes have worked, by examining a large scale study
conducted by the NSPCC and drawing out the main messages for
practice and future policy.
The research findings are set out in terms of children’s and
families’ needs and expectations, agency interventions and
outcomes, community context, measures and perceived changes over
time.
? Highly topical – national priority designated by government
? Professionals are required to learn quickly about this and
little information is presently available to them
? Clear presentation – lots of boxes and diagrams to be
incorporated
