The results of a long-term research project, carried out under the auspices of the Mid-Western Health Board, which explored the realities of how victims of child abuse are looked after and the lessons that can be drawn. The results have important implications for current policy and practice.
This book examines the impact of these developments by documenting the most comprehensive research project yet undertaken in Ireland into child care and protection practices. It provides a detailed analysis of the nature of child abuse, who reports it, how social workers and other professionals investigate and manage it and the degree to which long-term intervention promotes the safety and welfare of children.
