Synopsis

Eileen Munro, author of the seminal Munro Review, returns in this fully revised and updated third edition. With new chapters on ′Child Protection Agencies as Complex Adaptive Systems′ and ′How organisations can support more effective practice′, this new edition shifts its focus from individual workers to look at the critical role that organisations play in child protection, and how individuals are affected by the complex enterprise of people, processes, cultures and agencies. It remains an essential guide to strengthening analytic and intuitive skills to improve children′s safety.
