Synopsis

This book is a resource for all those needing an awareness of child protection issues and procedures. In a straightforward, accessible manner it introduces the key legislation, the bodies and organisations involved in safeguarding and, crucially, what you need to do if you suspect a young person is being harmed. It also provides a breakdown of the four different kinds of child abuse: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. In 'Protecting Children', Liz Davies, Senior Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, provides the facts and resources which can help everyone to play their part in changing children's lives for the better. The book accompanies the online courses in child protection provided by Akamas in partnership with the university - visit www.akamas.co.uk for details.
