Protecting children from abuse and neglect is a serious and complex area of social work practice and understanding the critical skills of communicating with and listening to children′s voices, and those of their advocates and survivors, is essential.

The book also considers legal safeguards and protective processes to increase the creativity and confidence of those undertaking such work. Locating knowledge and skills within a series of case examples from real life practice and serious case reviews, this book is an indispensable resource for students, professionals and others concerned with protecting children. This second edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to include current research evidence and a focus on the neglected protection needs of sexually exploited young people, children in custody, disabled children, young carers and unaccompanied child migrants.

Selfless is the story of Kristen Holzapfel's journey to the dark side of social work, her dream to enter a 'selfless profession' that broke her heart, and nearly her body and mind. It is the story of her descent in to anorexia nervosa, her recovery from that terrible time and her struggle with the workplace that forced her back to the front line. Faced with the stress and vicarious trauma that drove her back to hospital and anorexia she had little choice but to give up the career she'd dreamed of since her childhood. This is her story of that time, and of her recovery, told as both a warning and as hope for others dreaming of a 'selfless career'.
