The authors aim to challenge today's child protection culture in terms of its terminology, preconceptions and approach to deprivation and poverty. They call for family-minded, humane practice where children are understood as individuals, parents are recognised as people with needs and hopes, and families as carrying capacities for care and protection.
Aimed at students on post-qualifying child protection courses, social workers, managers, academics and policy makers, the book cites the key ingredients of 'just' organisational cultures where learning is celebrated.
