Following high-profile Serious Case Reviews into the tragic deaths
of children, including Victoria Climbie, Peter Connelly and Daniel
Pelka, information sharing has now become a moral and political
imperative for safeguarding the welfare of children. What prompts
information sharing and how do we get it right? This accessible
book challenges widely held assumptions about information sharing
in child welfare that facts about risks to children are clear and
that sharing them with other professionals is a straightforward
process. End-of-chapter questions prompt reflection and ensure
direct practice relevance. This is essential reading for academics
and policy makers, students on post-qualifying child protection
courses, social workers, managers and all other professionals
tasked with safeguarding children.

Swipe right, Captain Marvel!
Devastated by her breakup with Rhodey, Carol can’t seem to get back into her groove. Sure, monsters are still getting punched, but things are also getting missed…and boy oh boy is she grouchy. Before Carol can drive her friends fully insane, they stage an intervention that looks a hell of a lot like speed dating. With friends like these, who needs enemies?!
Captain Marvel is far more at home on the battlefield. She’s a born soldier. Give her an enemy to fight, and she’s unstoppable. But her Achilles’ heel is about to snap. The mystic arts are Carol’s one true weakness, and — haunted by her failure to stop the villain Ove — she sets out on a mission to correct that weakness…at any cost!

The breakout character from CAPTAIN MARVEL flies solo! Ambitious reporter Ripley Ryan recently became the hero Star, adored by all. But in truth she was Dr. Minerva’s attempt at a Kree/human weapon. Star tried to kill Captain Marvel — and failed. Ripley was locked in the Raft, defeated and powerless. But now the Reality Stone has found her, and no prison can hold her! You thought you knew what the Infinity Stones were capable of? Think again! As Star struggles to master her abilities, the Scarlet Witch pays her a visit. But is Wanda here to guide a fledgling hero — or put down a deadly villain? And when news spreads about Ripley’s new power, she becomes the target of the galaxy’s greatest hunters — including Thanos’ deadly Black Order! And as everything unravels for Star, Captain Marvel shows up for a rematch!
