Child protection is the protection of children from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child provides for the protection of children in and out of the home. Due to financial reasons, especially in developing countries, children are forced to work to survive. Often, child labour happens in atrocious conditions, which are dangerous and impair the education of future citizens and increase vulnerability to adults. It is hard to know exactly the age and number of children who work. A Child Protection Social Worker is responsible for different types of services designed to help families and children through various hardships and difficulties. Most often employed by state governments, a social worker specializing in children’s protection must be prepared to face various circumstances and situations. The present book provides an inspiring declaration of the need for a new, intimate approach to child protection, this ground-breaking book lays the foundations of skilful, authoritative practice. This important book will be important reading for students on post-qualifying courses in child protection, social workers, managers, academics and policymakers.
