About this title

Review

This book provides a comprehensive background to the subject of Child Protection for those working with young children. It would also be of considerable use to students since it links closely to units in courses such as NVQs and BTEC.
...
The inclusion of activities and questions is particualrly useful for those using this book to support course work.There is a comprehensive and up to date bibliography and a list of useful addresses. Photographs showing positive behaviour are appropriately used.
...
I would thoroughly recommend this book to childminders, playgroup workers, private day nurseries and all who have contact with young children. (Play Today 1999-09-01)

It is a comprehensive book which covers a wide range fo subjects within child protection. Each section is clearly set out, and what could be quite heavy and difficult material is made accessible and interesting. (Nursery World 1999-02-01)
