I would highly recommend this book to anyone working with children and young people and urge you to invest in a copy - you won’t regret it.’
Dr Fiona Straw, Consultant Paediatrician and Joint Head of Service for Community Paediatrics, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Child protection made simple: the plain-speaking guide for all those concerned with the protection of children.
Providing up-to-date coverage of the key issues in this challenging and sensitive area of law, Child Protection and the Family Court: What You Need to Know offers a valuable point of reference for all involved in the child protection process, from teaching, medical or other professionals to parents and carers.
In addition to updated coverage of local authority safeguarding duties and investigations, parental responsibility, special guardianship, wardship and the inherent jurisdiction and secure accommodation, the Fourth Edition includes coverage of:
- The changes to the approach to child protection both in and out of the Family Court, particularly pre-proceedings work
- Detailed discussion of openness in the Family Court, following the President’s Transparency Review of 2021
Written by an esteemed author team, including the President of the Family Division, a Family Court judge and a practising barrister, it offers non-specialist family lawyers, teachers, medical professionals and the police a clear and uncomplicated route through the process, with explanation supported by diagrams and charts to aid understanding.
This title is included in the Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
