This comprehensive text providing the link between legislation, policy, research and practice will enable students and practitioners to expand their knowledge and understanding of the key issues involved in safeguarding children and young people."Fiona Smith, Adviser in Children and Young People's Nursing, Royal College of Nursing, UK"Once again, Catherine Powell has produced a superbly useful text which will prove invaluable to students and health practitioners. The organisation and layout is highly user-friendly and it represents an up to the minute guide absolutely rooted in practice. The case studies are an excellent addition and enable the reader to really absorb the concepts within the context of their practice experience. It is first rate."Jan Nelmes, Senior Lecturer, University of Brighton, UK"This invaluable book has stayed close by my side whilst I prepare for my exams and also provided up-to-date references and knowledge base useful whilst reflecting upon my own practice for my portfolio and writing case conference reports ... The reference list is extensive and all the case studies and key messages are supported by evidence ... I am now regularly dipping in and out of it for reference and am still taking away new things from it every time I look at it."Catherine Forward, Nursing Student, Bucks New University, UKNurses, midwives and health visitors have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.
