‘This is an easily understandable and interesting read. Case examples and thought-provoking reflective exercises are included throughout, demonstrating the relevant application to healthcare practice.’

This is an understandable and interesting read. I thought that the reflective activities were good and the book itself covered the key themes. Good scenarios used throughout.

Excellent text. All chapters identify key words and reflective activity thereby linking theory and practice. -- Miss Tracey Barnfather * drupal *
This text is well written and provides a useful introduction to child protection and safeguarding practice for nurses, midwives and health visitors.

It is particularly welcome to see Scottish policy and practice threaded throughout the book as many similar textbooks tend to focus on policy and practice in England. However, it is important to point out that there have been some important legislative changes within Scotland since the book was published which will impact on practice.

An interesting text however some errors noted re spelling in early part of work.
A useful source of information however. -- Mrs Carol Griffiths * drupal *
I am very impressed with this text. The way it is presented enables practitioners and students to grasp the basics whilst appreciating the complexities of safeguarding children. The case studies are effective and the use of theoretical models and research enhances the impact of the content. I will be recommending this text for our pre-registration nursing students. -- Mrs Coralie Roll * drupal *
