Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment in developed
countries and it comes in many forms. This is the first book to
adopt a multidisciplinary approach to the tasks of planning and
intervention faced by professionals in cases of child neglect.
From evaluating the effects of neglect on the child to looking at
root causes, this wide-ranging text offers evidence-based,
practical guidance to support all practitioners in their work with
neglected children. In particular:
- It assesses a range of methods of intervention and how these best
apply to the various needs of different families.
- It explores the tensions and dilemmas that practitioners can face
when working with neglected children.
- It demonstrates ways that practitioners can work together to
promote better outcomes for the child.
- It provides conceptual frameworks, engaging case studies and
reflective questions that can assist practitioners in their work.
Written by a leading authority on child neglect, this book is
essential reading for those in contact with children and families
irrespective of discipline or nation state. It will prove an
invaluable resource for practitioners working with families where
there are signs of child neglect as well as students studying and
academics delivering courses in child welfare.
Jan Horwath is Professor of Child Welfare at the University of
Sheffield. She is the author of many books on safeguarding children
