This book considers the way we approach violence and safeguarding
in childhood, exploring the victimization of children as well as
children who use violence towards others. "Rethinking Children,
Violence and Safeguarding" explores the victimization of children
as well as children who use violence towards others and presents an
overview of key developments in research, policy and practice on
children and violence in the context of the recent major shift in
thinking from 'child protection' towards 'safeguarding' and
evidencing better outcomes. The gaps between rhetoric and practice
are considered and Lorraine Radford argues that the way we 'think'
about children and violence has had a profound impact on actions
against the abuse of children and children who commit violence.
Examples of research, reflections on research and key points and
guidance on further reading make this a really accessible text.
"Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding" is essential
reading for those studying childhood and undergraduate and graduate
level, and will be of great interest to those working with children
in any field. Is childhood changing? What effects are new ideas
about childhood having on children's lives? How are children's
voices and opinions affecting the services they use? Contemporary
debates on the nature of childhood, attitudes towards children, the
experiences of children and the emergence of a child rights agenda
are resulting in a re-examination of theory, practice and research
in many fields. "New Childhoods" offers a re-appraisal of the
meaning of childhood - a series of texts that are succinct,
accessible and engaging in introducing undergraduates to key areas
of Childhood Studies, Education Studies and Sociology, and in
disseminating new thinking, research, scholarship and practices.
Books in this series will also be of interest to those who are
preparing to work with children, such as teachers, early years
practitioners, youth workers, health workers and psychologists. Key
features include: boxed summaries of research which engage the
reader in analysis; case studies to explore each issue in context;
tasks to develop critical thinking; and pointers on further
reading. Each volume promotes a child rights perspective, and
provokes a re-examination of child-adult relationships in the
contexts of family, community and state. Insights and experiences
across fields such as sociology, philosophy and psychology are
combined to encourage an inter-disciplinary approach.
Violence against women is a pervasive problem in society and
responding appropriately to those who experience it and those who
perpetrate it is a constant challenge for social work, health and
related professions today. This volume seeks to address issues
surrounding violence against women at all levels, from its root
causes to the specific needs arising in victims of gendered abuse
from a particular social or ethnic group. Drawing on the expertise
of a range of 'front line' service providers and practitioners as
well as academic researchers, it seeks to provide those working in
social work and related professions with up-to-date coverage of the
major issues pertaining to violence against women, and suggest ways
to tackle the rise in violence against women by translating
knowledge into effective training and practice. This important book
will be essential reading for practising social workers and allied
professions, as well as academics and students.
Spanning children's and adult's services, this book explores the
nature and impact of domestic abuse and violence (DVA) throughout
the lifecourse. It highlights evidence-informed practice and serves
as an accessible and invaluable resource for all working with and
supporting those dealing with DVA. Structured around three core
themes of coercive control, developmental experiences of violence
and the importance of an intersectional understanding of DVA, this
book highlights the need for a coordinated 'whole family' approach
in safeguarding work in this area. Chapters move through different
stages of life, addressing topics such as children living with
domestic violence, abuse in young people's relationships, mental
illness, substance use and adolescent to parent abuse. Following
significant changes in this field, including the introduction of
coercive control as a legal offence and the global impact of COVID
on DVA cases, this is a timely and much-needed resource.
In this volume, the authors present an overview of the innovative
work taking place in relation to domestic violence and child
protection. This book looks at new prevention initiatives and how
interventions for children exposed to domestic violence have been
developed. It shows how services for abusive fathers have evolved
and provides discussion and critique of a number of new initiatives
in the field of interagency risk assessment. With international
perspectives and examples drawn from social care, health care and
voluntary sectors, this book brings together established ideas with
recent thinking to provide an authoritative summary of current
domestic violence and child protection practice. As a valuable
source of guidance on how to work safely with children living with
domestic violence, this is a key reference for social workers,
health professionals and policy makers.

How do you respond simultaneously to the needs of adults
experiencing domestic violence and the specific needs of their
children? Domestic Violence and Child Protection explores the
challenges of working effectively in this complex field and offers
positive models for practice. Leading practitioners and researchers
outline the essential safety considerations for children, adult
victims and child protection workers, and stress the importance of
children's experiences, using children's own words to describe
their diverse needs. The contributors offer examples of good
practice in prevention, intervention and recovery, drawn from
international settings. They highlight new directions for policy
and practice, and consider whether these might be achieved through
increased communication and coordination between agencies, or by
developing multiprofessional agencies that are able to offer
integrated responses. Individual chapters address child abduction,
legal issues concerning child contact arrangements, and dealing
with abuse in the context of divorce. Including perspectives from
social services, health services and the voluntary sector, this
book is a valuable source of information and ideas on how to work
safely and sensitively with children living with domestic violence
and will be a key reference for social workers, health
professionals and policy makers.
