First published in 1999, The Management of Child Protection
Services is not about child abuse but about child protection. It is
about the arrangements that professionals from different
disciplines make to ensure they operate together effectively to
protect the most vulnerable children in society. The book examines
five different contexts of child protection: historical,
cross-cultural, structural, managerial and professional and
consideration of the operation of Area Child Protection Committees.
In exploring these contexts, the book seeks to address such
questions as: 'how can universal standards be applied to protect
vulnerable children whilst avoiding ethnocentrism?' and 'from where
are derived, historically, and cross-culturally, the models of
child protection adopted in the UK today?' It also seeks to
identify the different professional contexts, roles and
contributions of agencies involved in child protection, with a view
to promoting interdisciplinary understanding. These questions and
understandings are necessary if changes currently being
contemplated are to enhance the effectiveness of child protection.
First published in 1997. Area Child Protection Committees are at
the heart of interagency child protection services in Britain.
Drawing on original research, this book provides the first detailed
analysis of ACPs and how they operate. The authors examine the
policy role of the committees, the processes of representation, and
the effectiveness of the committees' work both in directing
practice and in responding to change. They also report on research
into how ACPCs deal with cases that go wrong. The book considers
the impact both of agency reorganisation and of changes in child
care policy on the work of the committees, and includes an account
of the development of children's service plans. If child protection
policy is to change its direction, then ACPCs will have to change
too. This book aims to contribute to an understanding of how that
can happen.
