As they intervene in families to reduce the risk of harm to
children, child protection social workers around the world are
confronting increasingly high levels of hostility and aggression
from some parents. Investigations into the deaths of children known
to social services have accused social workers of failing to use
their professional authority to challenge parents. This much needed
book analyses public inquiries and serious case reviews to reveal
the dynamics of hostility and aggression which contribute to the
failure to protect children. These can occur within the office
environment and between social workers and parents or their
partners. The book details applied theories of aggression in
conjunction with the skills required for dealing with anger,
conflict and aggression. A set of tools and reflective exercises
assists the application of theory to day-to-day child protection
practice. This indispensable and practical text is ideal for social
work students, practitioners, trainers and academics specialising
in child protection.
