Publisher's Synopsis
The challenging material presented in this book is based on action-research in eight European child protection systems. The book offers perspectives and opportunities for the development of systems which balance family support and children protection. Whether these challenges arise from the many changes in the structure and resourcing of services, or from the intrinsic difficulties of the work, "Protecting Children: Messages from Europe" provides the opportunity to learn from the different systems and practices in child welfare and child protection employed in the UK and on the European continent.
