Child protection is an issue that concerns us all. Recent legislation and important guidance such as Working Together (2010) recognise that in order to safeguard vulnerable children in our community, everyone who works with children and families has a role to play. The scope of responsibility stretches from social workers and teachers to police officers, voluntary workers and faith groups. 'Protecting Children' is a resource for all those who need an awareness of child protection issues and procedures. In a straightforward, accessible manner, it introduces the key legislation, the agencies and organisations involved in safeguarding and, crucially, what you need to do if you suspect a young person is being harmed. It also provides a breakdown of the four different categories of child abuse: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. It is all too easy to avoid personal involvement in the task of child protection: suspected abuse calls up a strong emotional response and can be difficult to think about. In 'Protecting Children', Liz Davies, Senior Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, provides the facts and resources which can help everyone to play their part in changing children's lives for the better. The 2010 edition brings the book right up to date with recent changes in legislation and processes.
