Using practical examples from Britain and Ireland, this work for managers, supervisors, policy makers, and students views emerging issues in child welfare and protection from a management perspective, and places child welfare and protection work in the context of the political climate, societal norms, and professional values within which it is performed. Chapters cover managing gatekeeping and governance, supporting families, managing the child protection system, managing to protect children from state care, managing partnerships with families and communities, and managing staff welfare. Each chapter contains key points and checklists. A subject index is not provided. Harrison works for Ireland's Health Service Executive as a National Specialist for Children's Services. The book is distributed in the US by ISBS.
