Description

"A valuable source of help and guidance to all of those involved in issues of child protection" Sarah Phillimore, barrister from a previous edition review in ICLR

Providing up-to-date coverage of the key issues in this challenging and sensitive area of law, this book offers a valuable point of reference for all involved in the child protection process, from professionals to parents and carers. Written by an esteemed author team with extensive experience of family courts, it offers a clear and uncomplicated route through the process, with explanation supported by diagrams and charts to aid understanding.


In addition to updated coverage of local authority safeguarding duties and investigations, parental responsibility, special guardianship, wardship and the inherent jurisdiction and secure accommodation, new content in this edition includes the changes to the approach to child protection both in and out of the family court, with greater pre-proceedings work which is of interest to child protection professionals. Transparency is also a major new theme covered in detail, following the President's Transparency Review of 2021.

This title is included in the Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
