Published in 1998, the book provides a useful contribution to
current debates on social exclusion, the regeneration of
communities and the refocusing of crisis driven child protection
services to family support and the prevention of harm. It stresses
the need for interagency strategies of: - neighbourhood and family
support - action with young people for a safer environment -
principles of partnership with communities - positive action to
build on the strengths of families and communities, drawing on
their own resources and expertise The detailed account of work to
develop such strategies in one neighbourhood will be of value to
policy makers, managers and practitioners. The book gives an
overview of conditions associated with harm and abuse of children
and approaches which can be successful in preventing harm. It
documents experience and views of parents - mainly mothers -
attempting to bring up their children in health and safety in a
severely disadvantaged area. It argues for practical recognition of
the links between disadvantage and individual harm, and the need
for community development approaches to improve the life chances of
children and families.
