Description for Protecting Powers: Emergency Intervention for Children´s Protection
Paperback. A comprehensive, practical guide to child protection emergencies, including case studies and legal advice, Protecting Powers: Emergency Intervention in Child Protection discusses the findings of two major research studies on emergency child protection interventions conducted between 1998 and 2004. Series: Wiley Child Protection & Policy Series. Num Pages: 260 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: JKSB1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 230 x 152 x 15. Weight in Grams: 384.
The book is based on two research projects on emergency intervention, which were carried out by the author and her colleagues. The studies provide the basis for the three themes in the book: Inter-agency Working; Perceptions of Safety; and Placement and Resource Issues. The combination of quantitative and qualitative research allows a detailed picture of practice that goes beyond an account of what happens, to explore the perceptions, understandings and experiences of the practitioners who make these decisions, as social workers, police officers magistrates’ legal advisers or magistrates, and of the lawyers who advise social workers and parents.
